Thai Prawn And Pineapple Curry, "Kaeng Khua Saparot"

5.0(11)

This I have to make yet. Found it at the ImportFood.com sight. A quote from them "The pineapple adds a touch of tart sweetness to this dish. It has a rich creamy texture, and a red coloration that is an attractive complement to the shrimp. If you want to be a little fancy you can serve it in pineapple skin bowls." In place of palm sugar you can use Brown sugar!
