My family loves seafood and shrimp is one of our favorites. I usually look for new shrimp recipes online or on some of the cookbooks that I possess. But most of the time, I would try to cook shrimp dishes that we have tried in a restaurant. This shrimp curry recipe is similar to the ones we always have at a local Thai restaurant. It is not only simple to make but also delicious. The shrimps in the red creamy sauce are so delicious and tasty. The sliced bamboo shoots, the bell pepper strips and basil leaves complete this wonderful and flavorful dish.
