Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using full-fat coconut coconut milk for that rich, creamy texture, but you can go lighter if you prefer. If you can't find red curry paste, yellow or green works too, just adjust the amount based on your spice preference! And don't skip the fresh lime juice; it really brightens everything up.
Tips & Notes

Recipe Variations
