After reading the other reviews I made some changes. The end result was PERFECT!!! IT CAME OUT BETTER THAN MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT. If you make it this way you will not be dissapointed. This is what I did: I mixed in the blender 1/4 c canola oil, 1 medium onion, 1 red bell pepper and 5 cloves of garlic to create a chunky paste. I then sauted it for 4 min, lowered the heat to simmer and added 2 tsp minced ginger, 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and 2 tbsp flour, mixing energetically for 2 min. I then gradually added 2 c of light coconut milk all the while mixing energetically untill the sause thickened and became uniform. I simmered the sauce for 4 min, then increased the heat to medium-high again, added the shrimp, mixed well to coat and cooked for 4-5 min. Finally I added 1/2 c chopped fresh cilantro and 3/4c shredded coconut, mixed one last time and turned off the heat. THE RESULT WAS HARDLY ENOUGH FOR 2 CURRY LOVERS!!! YUM, YUM, YUM! THANK YOU DAKOTA and all the reviewers! I also plan on making this with chicken and I will try peanuts instead of shredded coconut next time.

This recipe needs to have the roux made in the beginning of the sauce (to eliminate any pasty taste). I used a combination of butter and oil (3 TBPS) and sauted the onions in that, then I added the spices and 2 TBPS of flour, eliminating the cornstarch. Cook for one minute then add the coconut milk. I used 2 TBSPS of curry.

This was absolutely fantastic. The only changes I made were I doubled the coconut milk, curry powder, and crushed red pepper flakes, and just before I served it I added some shredded coconut. Wow. I will definietely make this again. I think it would also be great with tofu or chicken instead of shrimp.

This curry sauce is absolutely delicious and goes really well with the shrimp and brown rice. It's not too spicy but still has some kick. I'd love to try it with chicken and veggies. I'll omit or use less of the cornstarch next time, though; it made the sauce too thick.

The way I made it was only worth four stars, but I made some poor alterations. I didn't have coriander or cilantro and I love both... so I shouldn't have made it without them. Secondly, I didn't see the need for the teaspoon of sugar, but in hindsight, I should have. On a good note, I did what a prior review AGLIKA recommended and put the first few ingredients in a food processor before sauteeing. This thickened the sauce nicely and I didn't have to add the cornstarch/H20. I also up'd the red pepper flakes which gave it more heat. I cannot wait to make this recipe again THE RIGHT WAY. On a Side Note: I always loved curry-coconut shrimp in restaurant eventhough nutrition-wise, it's right up there with alredo sauce. So, I could never bring myself to make this at home considering how terribly fattening it is. However, this recipe is LowFat, LowCal, and LowCarb... amazing!

1/2 cup of coconut milk was not enough and I did NOT need to use the cornstartch. If I had, then it would have been way too thick. This tasted good...just not made exactly as written. UPDATE: I made this tonight and the general consensus is there needs to be more sauce. I used 2 tsp of sugar instead to suit our taste, hubby thought it was too spicy I thought it was just right. Next time I will cut the red pepper and double the sauce.

This was a delicious recipe. I stuck with the recipe, substituting only light coconut milk for the regular variety (save a couple of calories) and omitted the red pepper because I didn't have it on hand. I added a little cornstarch at the end, but I think I would leave this out next time - it was actually a little too thick. BONUS SIDE DISH: I made a middle eastern coconut rice on the side (cooked the rice in half light coconut milk and water), then after cooking, added toasted coconut (toasted in a pan with a little olive oil), toasted almond and toasted raisins, all mixed through the rice (do all the toasting separately). With the curry-coconut shrimp, it was absolutely delicious!

I made this recipe last week and my husband looooved it. He's not a big fan of coconut, but he really enjoyed the sweet spicy taste. I give this recipe 4 stars because its easy to prepare and make. I used regular coconut milk instead of light and the sauce thickened without the need of cornstarch.

We enjoyed this dish!.. I doubled the curry because I love curry and the coconut milk; I used 1/4 tsp of cayenne instead of the red pepper flakes. Other than that I followed the recipe and added just a squirt of lime juice at the end with salt and pepper. Pretty good but I have other favorites!

This was absolutely amazing! However I did have to change a few things.. Like the other reviewers, I added 2tlbs butter to the oil before saute the veggies (added 1 cup peas) and added 2 tlbs curry instead and 2 tlbs flour with the seasoning instead of cornstarch at the end. Also, I added about 3/4 can (14oz) of LITE coconut milk. Everyone went crazy over this! You might add a little more flour at the end when cooking the shrimp - it all depends.
