Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp

Last nights dinner was this Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp and it was delicious! Our wasn't too spicy but it will depend on the curry paste you get. This is also just a two serving recipe and was perfectly portioned for two. We put this over brown rice and served a side of snow peas. Enjoy!
