Thai Red Curry with Shrimp

Thai Red Curry with Shrimp

I missed the Thai curries we used to enjoy in the U.S., but in Korea, restaurants charge a lot just because they are made with imported products. So I decided to make my own!

Notes & Tips

You can buy curry paste from stores specializing in imported products. We got ours from otth.co.kr. You can control the spiciness by adjusting the amount of curry paste. Coconut milk was from Emart. We use frozen shrimp from Costco. When using frozen shrimp, defrost them first by soaking in water.
