Easy Thai Curry Shrimp

I love Thai curries but am often disappointed when ordering them at restaurants as they tend to be too watery and soupy. I love my Thai curries thick, creamy and full of flavor so I prefer to make them myself. It’s super simple and takes just minutes to put together so there’s no reason not to!

When all of the shrimp are cooked, add Granulated Sugar (1 Tbsp) , Fish Sauce (1 tsp) , half of the Kaffir Lime Leaves (3) .

Give it a good stir, then transfer to a serving bowl.
