There’s something comforting and so simple about curry. The combination curry with coconut milk, a few key ingredients and you have a bowl bursting with flavor. I make curry at least once a week since it doesn’t take too long (which is awesome during the week after work) and my main one I’ve been coming back to is a red coconut curry. The great thing about this recipe is you can use chicken, white fish or shrimp AND you can put it over rice or rice noodles. It’s an easy way to take the same recipe and switch it up for something a little different.
This is also a 1 pan dish (YAY) so cleanup is a breeze! Some of the ingredients can be a little more challenging than others to find, like the lemongrass but if you have an Asian food store in your area they should have it.
