Delish! Served it over a bed or rice noodles. However, it didn't seem like there was enough sauce with using only 1/2 cup of coconut milk. I added the whole can plus 1/2 cup of water. Unfortunately for my husband, though, it was a bit spicy (I'm not complaining). No big deal - he just topped it with some sour cream. ;)

This recipe turned out alright. Omitted the cilantro (don't like) and the cornstarch - we felt the sauce was thick enough. Bumped up some of the spices, but the recipe still felt a little bland/one dimensional. It tasted a little better the next day but not enough to make again.

after making it the first time i realized it needed more flavor doubled all the spices and added tumeric, and didnt need to add the corn starch,. I also got creative and added alfredo sauce ommiting the coconut milk and sugar. I know it changes the whole recipe but it turned out great. this recipe would get 5 stars if you increase the spices especially the curry powder.

Delicious taste. I should have doubled the mixture though, or served it with some vegetable dishes. In my opinion, it didn't make nearly enough for four.

Needs more sugar, more heat, and some salt. I added fresh pineapple and used regular coconut milk. Calories from cornstarch or coconut milk....hmm, prefer coconut. I used I cup of coconut milk, 1/2 low fat and 1/2 regular. I added fresh ginger and fresh basil. Also, I prefer veggies crisp, so I cooked veggies with shrimp!

Excellent with some minor revisions: I used 3 well seeded jalapenos instead of bell pepper. Still did the crushed pepper flakes and it was not hot - just a mild spice. Did not thicken the sauce, not necessary, it thickens enough if you just let it sit 5 min before serving. Used 2 cups light coconut milk, and for oil used 1/4 c ev coconut oil. Also added 3 sliced stalks celery and small can of bamboo (both excellent with it). Did fresh basil instead of cilantro - gave it an absolutely delicious Thai flare (don't used dried basil, only fresh, they're completely different flavors). Fry the shrimp first, set them aside and do the veggies with the sauce (celery will cook fast, nice to leave some crunch to it too). Add the shredded coconut, basil and shrimp to serve. SOOO good. The tsp sugar (and a pinch salt if you wish - salt increases detection of sweetness on tongue) are really crucial, it is not the same without it.

Lovely! I used roasted red peppers from a jar since that is what I had and followed the advice of others and doubled the sauce and cooked the rice in coconut milk. Next time I think I will try just a bit more red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch.

This recipe was easy to make. The coconut/curry flavour is wonderful. I doubled the recipe to make enough for a family of 4. I also found salt helped bring out the flavors. I will make this recipe the next time I'm in the mood for Thai food.

This was ok. It needs more BAM! It didn't taste *bad* it just didn't wow us. I left out the red pepper simply because I was all out. I didn't need the cornstarch as the mixture was already thick (fine by me; I don't like adding it if I don't need it). Needs more *something* ... more curry, more coconut, some salt...something. I'll work with it and tweak it, though. It's a good base recipe.

It was good, tad too sweet for me. Next time i won't add so much sugar. I didn't use any cornstarch, I read the reviews and everyone was saying the cornstarch wasn't needed, so therefore I didn't use it. My husband didn't like it, he said it was too sweet as well.
