THAI SHRIMP CURRY

This is so easy to throw together. I have been able to get this on the table pretty fast when I've had unexpected company, and it is a big hit. I like to serve it over couscous or basmati rice. (Make sure you use unsweetened coconut milk, not sweetened coconut cream.)

My family thinks that this is better then at our local Thai restaurant! You can use less or more of the red curry paste for less or more heat. We like it spicy!
