Easy Shrimp Curry is very easy to make and a one-pot meal. It tastes delicious, like the one you find in Thai restaurants, and fast to make. You can make it in half hour, so it becomes my go-to-meal when I am in a rush. It is also versatile. You can use other meat or tofu, instead of shrimp. For this recipe, I use Thai curry paste, specifically Yellow Curry Paste. I prefer Yellow Curry Paste since it tastes milder but you can also use other Thai curry paste, such as Red Curry Paste, Green Curry Paste, etc. If you are a vegetarian, you need to check the ingredients used in curry paste if you buy it from the store since some of them uses shrimp paste and thus, you may have to make the curry paste yourself. For vegetables, I use carrot, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion. However, you can use any vegetables you want. This dish is good to serve with warm rice since the rice will soak up the curry gravy.
