Thai Shrimp Curry with Coconut Milk
Friday 9 May 2008
This Thai food, the Thai shrimp with coconut curry, is easy to make and the dish taste good. Since, I’m not an expert cook; I always asked my wife for guidance whenever I don’t know some ingredients and terminology in cooking like the term "deveined the shrimp". She taught me how to devein the shrimp and explained to me the reason why it is needed.
Well, I like the outcome of my cooking of this Thai shrimp with coconut curry, and my wife and kids gave me a passing grade, it’s not perfect, but they really like this Thai dish.
