Yellow Curry Shrimp
Adding some vegetables and Thai basil to this would make it even better! Make sure to finish cooking your vegetables in the curry sauce. For example, parboil the potatoes and with about 5 minutes of cooking to go, add them to the sauce. Something like spinach or green beans can just be thrown straight into the sauce.
