This was edible, but I won't make it again. The sauce was runny, and there was just nothing to it but the shrimp. It didn't taste particularly distinctive at all.

Okay, so I did not go to the store after I found this recipe...so I used the Jamacain yellow curry powder instead. I wanted to cook shrimp and basil together in a dish. This was excellent and very easy. I added a little green bell pepper and served it with rice and Thai red chile sauce.

wow, this is a great dish. I WILL be making this one again- very straight- forward. Has a rich body to it, a mild spicy flavour ( but it doesn't overwhelm the shrimp or basil). I think it would be a good introduction to curry dishes ( if you have never tried curry before). I can't say enough about this dish- it was very satisfying.
