I absolutely love dishes that are colorful and spicy! Thai red curry fits the bill, and is one of my favorite meals.
This recipe utilizes ready made red curry paste, so you can cook up this curry quickly and easily.
There are many types of ready made red curry pastes available, but the one I have been using is by Mae Ploy, which I pick up at my local Asian market. Just look at the ingredients of the paste:
- Garlic
- Dried red chili
- Lemongrass
- Shallot
- Salt
- Galangal
- Shrimp paste
- Kaffir lime peel
- Pepper
The end flavor result of mixing these ingredients is pure spice heaven!
