Ingredients:

1 cup rice noodles
230g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
1/3 cup curry paste
72g
1.50 cups chicken gravy
300g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
32 oz shrimps
910g
1 tbsp brown sugar
16g
2 tbsp fish sauce
30g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
2 tbsp onion
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice Noodles:
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
- In a large pan or wok, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the shrimps and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
3. Make the Curry Base:
- In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add the curry paste and stir well to combine with the onions.
4. Build the Curry Sauce:
- Pour in the chicken gravy and 2 cups of coconut milk. Stir well to combine with the curry paste and onions.
- Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
5. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Add the Shrimp and Noodles:
- Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, followed by the prepared rice noodles.
- Stir gently to coat the shrimp and noodles with the curry sauce.
7. Final Touches:
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers and roughly chopped coriander leaves. Stir to combine.
8. Serve:
- Serve the Thai shrimp curry hot, garnished with additional coriander leaves and lime wedges if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh shrimp for the best taste. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry to avoid excess moisture.

- Adjust the amount of curry paste to control the heat level of the dish. Start with a small amount and add more according to your preference.

- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of the light version.

- If you prefer a thicker curry, let it simmer for a longer time to reduce the sauce.

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and sliced red hot chili peppers just before serving for an added touch of color and flavor.

Thai shrimp curry is not only easy to make but also a sure way to impress your guests with its exotic flavors and inviting aroma. By following the tips provided, you can customize the dish to your liking and make it a regular favorite in your home.
