Leave a comment

Satisfy your curry craving tonight with this mouthwatering  Coconut Curry Shrimp that contains a fusion of flavor. 

This Coconut Curry Shrimp is bursting with flavors from around the World.

As it contains two different types of curry flavors in it. 

Think Thailand meets Jamaica! 

And trust me it is super simple to make. 

If you have never tried Red Thai Curry before, I encourage you to give it a try. 

Some of the ingredients of RED THAI CURRY paste includes “Lemongrass”; “Galangal” , “Kaffir lime leaves” and Bird’s Eye Thai chilies. 

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

  • Red Thai Curry Paste * see the picture below for my favorite brand
  • Jamaican Curry Powder
  • Thick Coconut milk * skip the watered down varieties
  • Shrimp
  • Cilantro
  • Green peppers
  • Onion
  • Limes
  • Rice

Our favorite “RED THAI CURRY PASTE”

The shrimp is curried to perfection and has become one of our new households favorites. 

It is very similar to my Jamaican Curry Shrimp and if your interested in that recipe.

It is also a favorite in our household.

The difference between that recipe and this recipe is that here we are adding tomatoes and omitting the scotch bonnet peppers and replacing that with a bit of “Red Thai Curry” paste. 

Both recipes are amazing and I encourage you to try this one and that one separately. 

So if you like curry as much as me, then you are sure to love this recipe. We are infusing it also with salt and pepper, tomatoes and coconut milk that help to bring all those curry flavors alive.

Keep in mind you will want to use a good quality coconut milk, one that is not to watery. When it comes to the tomatoes you can choose fresh or canned.
