Thai Curry Noodles with Shrimp

September 14, 2023

Thai Curry Noodles with Shrimp is a vibrant, aromatic dish that brings the bold flavors of Thai cuisine right to your table. This dish combines tender shrimp, chewy noodles, and a rich, creamy curry sauce infused with fragrant herbs and spices, creating a satisfying and flavorful meal. Whether you’re craving something spicy, savory, or slightly sweet, this dish has it all in one bowl.

The base of Thai Curry Noodles with Shrimp is a rich coconut milk-based curry sauce, which provides a creamy texture and balances the spices. The curry paste, typically made from ingredients like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic, ginger, and Thai chili, gives the sauce its signature depth and heat. The shrimp adds protein and a light seafood flavor that pairs perfectly with the richness of the curry.

The noodles, often rice noodles or egg noodles, soak up the curry sauce, ensuring each bite is full of flavor. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and spinach to add texture and freshness to the dish, making it not only more colorful but also more nutritious. For an extra burst of flavor, fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can be sprinkled on top, along with a squeeze of lime juice.

This dish is incredibly versatile, allowing you to adjust the spice level and ingredients based on your preferences. If you prefer a milder curry, you can reduce the amount of chili paste or replace it with a sweet red curry paste. For added texture, top the dish with chopped peanuts or fried shallots.

Thai Curry Noodles with Shrimp is a quick and easy meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor, making it perfect for busy weeknights or when you want to impress guests with your cooking. It’s a one-bowl wonder that brings the warmth and depth of Thai flavors into your kitchen.

    Not bad, but I don’t know what tahy means. Are we supposed to add that??

      I think you meant to say ‘thai’ instead of ‘tahy’! The recipe sounds great, give it a try! 🙂

    I tried it but it turned out too spicy for my kids. Maybe lessen the curry paste next time?

    This recipe made me feel like a chef! The colors were beautiful, and it tasted great. Will impress my friends!

    FAIL. Didn’t like it at all. No flavor, no taste. Never making that again!

    Too much coconut milk for me! Made it too creamy. I prefer a sauce that’s more tangy.

    1. User avatar kati.lubowitz59 says:

      I thought the coconut milk balanced out the flavors perfectly! Maybe try adding some lime juice for that tang you’re missing?

  6. User avatar troy.friesen says:

    This was OK, but I don’t think it really tastes like curry. Maybe I did something wrong?

    Not sure what the fuss is about. It was okay but kinda bland. I had to add extra spices to make it better.

    Way too many ingredients for such a simple dish. I could barely taste the shrimp! Not worth it.

    1. User avatar mabelle.langosh says:

      I disagree! I think the ingredients really bring out the flavor of the shrimp. It’s all about balance, you know?

      There’s hardly any shrimp! Just too much going on. I prefer simpler dishes. Not impressed.

    I didn’t have fresh basil so I used dried. Still turned out pretty good! Not bad for a lazy cook like me.

    I don’t have coconut milk, can I use almond milk? Pls help!

    1. User avatar jeffrey.kuhn8 says:

      2 stars
      I wouldn’t use almond milk, it’s too watery for curry. Better to use real coconut milk if you can get it.

    2. User avatar jacques.donnelly96 says:

      4 stars
      Almond milk is thinner than coconut milk, so it might change the texture, but it should work! Just keep an eye on it while cooking.

    I dont know… the shrimp was kinda rubbery. Maybe I overcooked them? Thumbs down.

      Looks good, but isn’t shrimp kinda iffy? I’d rather use chicken. Maybe I’ll try it, but not with shrimp.

  27. User avatar palmer.connelly70 says:

    Eh… it was okay. Not my favorite. I expected more flavor. 🤷‍♂️

  28. 3 stars
    Hmm, I don’t know about the coconut milk. It felt a bit too rich for my taste. Maybe less next time?

    I don’t like fish sauce. Can I just leave it out? I’m not sure it’s worth making with that ingredient in it.

  30. 2 stars
    Not a fan. The fish sauce was too strong for my taste. I wouldn’t make it again.

    1. 4 stars
      I get it, fish sauce can be a bit much if you’re not used to it. Have you tried using less next time? It could balance out the dish.

    2. User avatar timmy.kunze says:

      3 stars
      Nah, fish sauce is great! Maybe you just put in too much? I love strong flavors, makes the dish pop!

  31. 4 stars
    I didn’t have snow peas, so I used regular peas. Was still tasty! Just a bit different, but whatever.

  32. User avatar shani.jones says:

    2 stars
    Eh, it was a bit too creamy for my taste. I prefer a lighter sauce. Next time, I might skip the coconut milk.

  33. User avatar elvin.welch47 says:

    Easy to make, but I messed up the shrimp. Used frozen ones and they were chewy. Still enjoyed the meal tho.

      Frozen shrimp can be tricky! Did you thaw them properly? But glad you enjoyed overall!

    Super easy to make, but I think it needs more veggies. I added broccoli and it was delicious! 🥦

  36. 4 stars
    I was skeptical about the fish sauce, but it added a nice depth. I used tofu instead of shrimp, and it was still great.

      I’ve always been unsure about fish sauce, but it totally makes dishes pop! Can’t wait to try with tofu. Thanks for sharing your experience!

      Sounds good and all, but tofu instead of shrimp? Really? I’m not sure that’s the same. Just saying!

  37. 5 stars
    Yum! So good. I could eat this every day! 😍
