Notes

If you like a thicker sauce, simmer the curry for a bit longer to allow it to reduce and thicken. For added freshness, squeeze some lime juice over the dish just before serving. Feel free to customize your curry by adding other vegetables like snap peas, bamboo shoots, or baby corn. If you’re not a fan of shrimp, you can substitute it with chicken, tofu, or vegetables of your choice. Enjoy!
