Thai Pepper Shrimp Curry 

We adore Thai food here and make it regularly. A Thai curry like this Thai Pepper Shrimp Curry is fast to make and a very easy weeknight meal. The prep with Thai food is the most difficult as it usually has quite a few ingredients but once those are set it pulls together very quickly. For weekday meals like this I use a jarred garlic and ginger, so much faster to use. 

Red curry paste is much milder than green curry paste so that is what I prefer using in my Thai cooking for the most part. You can usually just purchase a small envelope of curry paste that is good for about 2 meals. If it is any larger is tends to be wasted until we come around to making Thai food again.

Frozen shrimp are almost always in our freezer as they thaw quickly and make a great meal quickly. Pairing them up with lots of red and green peppers make this meal delicious and nutritous. 

The flavors of the curry with ginger, garlic and coconut is a favorite in this household. Adding in some umami flavors from fish sauce and soy sauce adds an extra depth to this also. A little crunch from a few peanuts and the freshness from the cilantro round out the dish perfectly.

    That shrimp looks amazing and I love a one pot meal over rice for the kids, It looks like you spent all day on that dish and I can never refuse shrimp.

    We’ve never really tried Thai food, so we’ll definitely have to sometime! I agree that I love using jarred garlic and ginger though, all the fresh bang without the crazy effort.

    This looks really good. I don’t like shrimp though, so I’d have to cut that out. Either way it still looks delicious.

    Oh my goodness! This recipe looks so delicious! I have a thing for curry so this is right up my alley sans the shrimp. I’m vegan but my boys would make the shrimp disappear in a heartbeat!
