I went to a local Asian food market here – inexplicably for the first time – it won’t be the last. I picked up a red curry paste, some coconut milk, and rice noodles.
Simmer about 1/4 cup of red curry paste with 2 tbls of oil
slowly add about 1/2 can of coconut milk – let it boil
add meat and veggies (I added the zuchinni, the shrimp I added later)
Add remaining coconut milk and let simmer until the meat or veggies are done.
In the meantime boil water in a pasta pot. Add rice noodles and remove from heat until the noodles are tender (mabye about 8 minutes)
When the pasta was done – I turned the heat up on the curry sauce and brought it back to a boil – then I added the shrimp.
I drained the pasta and then mixed it all together. The flavors worked really well together and its definitely something I will try again with different flavor profiles – perhaps some tofu and more veggies.
The lesson? Don’t be afraid to try something new! YUM
