Thanks for the link parvati.

Falcs allergic to male shrimp.
Female shrimps are sweeter.

[shaddeck]

Ah wonder if shaddeck know bout red curry....

yes he does! he also knows bout green curry too. coloured curries can be had at any Thai restaurant and be bought at any asian store, dried or as ah paste.
north indian tandoori curries are not only yellow but red.
dey both can be homemade using red chilli powders for colouring or if you prefer it milder use red sweet paprika powder, jes add to your favourite curry mixture

[Amelia]

Shaddeck :evil: ...yuh need to be more helpful.

How does one MAKE the red curry?
And what is the essential difference between the curries (aside from the colour)?
Which ones are better suited for what type of dish?
Did u look at chica's receipe below?

[shaddeck]

750 g raw shrimps
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 small stick cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon methi
2 strips lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups coconut milk
Few curry leaves, in trini known as carrapulay(?)
Good squeeze lemon juice

Method :
Wash shrimps and remove the heads but leave the shells on. (shrimps are often cooked in their shells, for better flavor)

Put all ingredients except lemon juice, into a saucepan and bring slowly to simmering point. DO NOT BOIL- SHRIMP WILL BECOME RUBERRY

Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes or until onions are soft.

Add lemon juice and stir.

Taste and add more salt or lemon if required.

[Amelia]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........nice......
Thanks shaddeck! [smilie=air_kiss.gif]

Lamb taste good with a red curry mix especially with added vegetables like cauliflower and carrots.

[Amelia]

Ok ppl, I had to give another review. Went back this evening for red curry shrimp. Lordy! I dunno what happen. I dunno if they changed chefs, I dunno if they change brand of curry. I just dont know! Suffice it to say...not great, not good, not mediocre. Just lame.

I hope you complained and didn't pay for it if you wasn't satisfied.

[Amelia]

I indicated my intense dissatisfaction and disappointment.
My host however, felt it necessary to pay despite the lack of explanation for the marked difference in quality.
Needless to say, there will be no referrals or patronage from me henceforth.

[Chicabonita]

Maybe they changed chefs? Strange.

[sylvestter]

ok. i had it last night. it was amazing! i could eat that gravy as a soup!

[Amelia]

^Is in everything so u does hadda follow me? :roll:

I'm glad u liked it.
Ok so maybe different chefs take different shifts?
I need to get to the bottom of this.
I cant have ppl taking me out and one day the food good and the next day it so-so.

I cant have ppl taking me out and one day the food good and the next day it so-so.the bigger question is whether you had two different ppl take you out. maybe it was a sign from the gods/chefs that you being to loose. but i digress.

it was good!

[Amelia]

What liming hadda do with being loose? :?
What did u order to drink?
