Coconut Red Curry Shrimp

Sometimes I forget how much I like something till we spontaneously decide to make it for dinner. I love shrimp, and I adore a thick flavorful curry sauce. Why don't we make this more often?? This is an easy dinner to put together for a weeknight meal. This serves about 3 people so it can easily be doubled for a larger crowd. You could sub in extra veggies, chicken, or tofu if you aren't a fan of shrimp.  Hope everyone is having a great week! Enjoy!
