Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Start by preparing all the ingredients. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the red hot chili peppers. Peel and cube the potatoes if you haven't already. Peel and devein the shrimps.
2. Heat Oil:
- In a large pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Aromatics:
- Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add Curry Paste:
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Cook Potatoes:
- Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them in the curry mixture. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
6. Add Shrimps:
- Add the shrimps to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
7. Season with Fish Sauce:
- Stir in the fish sauce, tasting and adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve:
- Remove the pan from heat and let the curry sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to develop fully.
- Serve the shrimp and potato curry hot, garnished with cilantro or green onions if desired.

Tips:

- Prep ingredients first: Chop all your vegetables and measure out your spices and liquids before you start cooking. This makes the cooking process smoother and prevents any last-minute scrambling.

- Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a milder curry, you can reduce the number of chili peppers or use a milder curry paste. Conversely, if you like it spicier, add more chili peppers or a spicier curry paste.

- Cook potatoes thoroughly: Ensure the potatoes are completely cooked through before adding the shrimp, as shrimp cooks quickly and can become tough if overcooked.

- Use fresh shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, make sure they are thoroughly thawed before cooking.

- Serve immediately: Curry is best enjoyed fresh. Serve the dish immediately after cooking to enjoy the shrimp's tenderness and the potatoes' perfect texture.

Enjoy your Shrimp & Potato Curry over a bed of steamed rice or with warm naan bread. The combination of shrimp, potatoes, and fragrant curry sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Bon appétit!
