I LOVE Thai Food!

I can eat it every day of the week.  I know I don’t do a lot of Thai recipes, but that’s only because they aren’t usually that straight forward to make and use a lot of exotic ingredients that are hard to come by.

Not this recipe!  This recipe uses ingredients that can be bought in almost any grocery store and the best part is – it takes only minutes to prepare!  You are welcome!

When ordering Thai food, I don’t always order curry because due to medication, my stomach can’t handle a lot of spice.  So if I do order a curry, it’s usually a Mussaman Curry (see the image below).

Making the paste is super simple. You throw the ingredients into a food processor.

Mix until smooth

I mean what could be simpler?

Heat some olive oil in a pan and cook for a few minutes.

Add some coconut milk and simmer for about 10 minutes.  Add cooked meat, vegetables or fish.

I added frozen, raw shrimp and cooked them quickly in the sauce.

And that’s it!  In just 20 minutes, you have a beautiful, simple Thai Red Curry!
