If you’re looking to pull together a quick dinner in about 30 minutes- this recipe is for you!

Today I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey- I’d usually use shredded rotisserie chicken or sautéed shrimp (YUM). You can use your protein of choice- whatever works for you!

SPECIAL NOTES:

  • Thai Red Curry can get spicy! Check out the red curry paste selection at your grocery store and buy to your liking. If you are not into spicy food, start with two tablespoons of the red curry paste and add more to taste.

  • Can you use the green curry paste? Yes, you can! We simply prefer Red Curry here at Chez Honest Spoon.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Thai Red Curry Paste (Grocery Store, Asian Market, or Amazon)

Chicken or Veggie Stock

Coconut Milk

Protein of choice- 2-3 cups

Small Yellow Onion

4 garlic cloves

Red Bell pepper

Large Carrot

2 small Zucchini

Green Onion, Cilantro, Lime for garnish
