The reviewer gave this recipe 2 stars. This recipe averages a 4.22 star rating.

Strange, bland and soupy :( I so wanted to like this dish because it uses several of my favorite ingredients (jalapenos, coconut milk, ginger...). However, as many commented, this recipe needs some major tweaking. Overall, it lacks substance - the sauce is boring, despite its list of bold ingredients. Cutting down on coconut milk won't help this. As a last ditch effort, I added a titch of sugar, a dash of red chili paste and a handful of cilantro. But really, I felt like I was kicking a dead horse trying to save this recipe. Flavor lovers, look elsewhere...

This has a beautiful light flavor to it. My first thought was like some other reviewers that it needed a little more spice, but then I remembered that a lot of thai dishes are light and not bold. This is a wonderful summer dish and easy to make. I didn't think the sauce was to thin I served it over rice and it was great. I will make this again. Thanks for the recipe.

This was really good. I followed some other advice and reduce the liquid content. Turned out really good. The chef even got a kiss.

Tasted like a dish you would pay $10 for at a Thai restaurant. Coconut and spices go well without an overpowering aftertaste. The only changes I made was substituting cilantro for the basil, and using frozen, cooked shrimp. Served over brown rice with a side of summer rolls. Excellent.

I cooked this for my husband and I last week. It was delicious! I found it had a bit too much liquid, I am making it again tonight and will use less coconut milk so that it's not so 'soupy'. Otherwise, a fantastic recipe.

This was very tasty served over some thai lime pilaf. I added 1/2 tsp of cumin & 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper for some added spice. I also used 7 cloves of garlic instead of 4. It thickened up nice for me even though I used light coconut milk. It was VERY yummy. My 2 year old even devoured it!

This was good. Wasn't as much flavor as I was expecting from fresh ginger and 4 cloves of garlic. I used shrimp and tofu and my usually thai-food phobic husband enjoyed it. Smelled really good!! Will certainly make it again.

I had a feeling I'd like this recipe but I ended up LOVING it instead! I cheated and bought a jar of garlic and ginger paste. (I think it's made by "Spice World" and you can find it in the produce section.) Truly wonderful stuff!!

I thought this was a wonderful recipe and would make it again. I did not have turmeric so I used curry as suggested by others. It was super easy to make and the sauce was excellent over rice. Very unsual dish and flavors from the standard.

Recipe had a very nice flavor. I would recommend leaving the seeds in the jalapeno to spice it up a bit.

This was just an "okay" dish that I will probably not make again. I too could not get a paste in my blender and added two Tbsp. of the coconut milk to the mix to get a paste. I also used a can of diced tomatoes. The color was wonderful, it was a little soupier than I'd hoped, and even though it smelled fantastic, my husband and I both felt it lacked flavor. Overall, not a bad recipe, but needs some tweaking, I think.

Fantastic! I used tofu instead of shrimp and added a few serrano chili peppers to spice things up a bit. It was incredibly easy and so very yummy! Thanks for a great recipe!

I enjoyed this recipe quite a bit. Served it over rice noodles, which sopped up the yummy sauce well. Instead of turmeric, I used curry. I added a little extra ginger, and cut down on the tomatoes by about a 1/3 cup (after seeding and dicing, I had almost 2 cups). I put about a tablespoon of peanut oil in the food processor with the spices so they pureed a bit better. I also substituted cilantro for the basil, because that's what was on hand. It was just fine, but I look forward to using basil next time.
