    This curry dish is so good. The sauce tastes wonderful, the shrimp is succulent, and the noodles are cooked to perfection.

    I have had a love hate relationship with curry. Over the years, I’ve experienced really good curry but I also have had pretty bad curry. Way back then, when I couldn’t count on getting good curry in a restaurant, I steered away from it. Of course, until I became a recipe site owner, I never thought I’d make it myself.

    What changed my experience of curry was when I had an unbelievably delicious duck curry dish at a local Thai restaurant.

    I was so impressed with their dish that I decided to make it myself and now I eat and make various curry dishes regularly.

    Helpful tips

    • To shorten the cook time, put water on to boil in a medium stockpot and saucepan before you start the recipe. You will cook the potatoes first and then the noodles. That will help get this shrimp dish off the stove and into hungry mouths even quicker.
    • Make your own curry paste as it is super easy and you can control the ingredients.
    • There is ginger in the curry paste, but if you really like it, grate some in the sauce. I’ve done this for guests who adore ginger.
    • I almost never peel potatoes before cooking them. I like the extra nutrients they add to my diet.
    • Don’t like arugula? Sprinkle on some fresh cilantro.
    • I use chicken broth but you can also use homemade chicken stock.

    How to make shrimp curry noodles

    Pre-step

    Gather a sauté pan, medium saucepan and Dutch oven. Add water to the saucepan and set the water to boil on medium-high heat.

    Step one

    Gather the ingredients – curry paste, shrimp, onion, shallot and baby Yukon potatoes.

    Step two

    Cut the potatoes into medium sized pieces, add them to the boiling water, and cook for 15 – 20 minutes.

    Step three

    While the potatoes are cooking, cut up the shallot and onion in small chunks and heat up the Dutch oven. Add olive oil and once the oil shimmers, add the shallots, onion, salt and garlic paste and sauté for 10 minutes until the veggies become translucent.

    Rice noodles

    I bought some Thai rice noodles because that is the way I wanted to serve this particular shrimp curry. I use the whole 14 ounce package which will soak up most of the curry sauce, but if you want a nice soupy curry sauce, use only 7 ounces of noodles.

    Step four

    After the water boils, turn off the heat, place the noodles in the water and set the timer for 8 minutes.

    Step five

    Meanwhile the onions are done, so add the yellow curry paste in the pan with the onions.

    Also, open the coconut cream, the coconut milk and the chicken broth.

    Step six

    Add the whole can of coconut cream, half the can of coconut milk, ¾ cup of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

    Lower to a simmer and add the drained, cooked potatoes and let it all simmer for as long as it takes the rest of the ingredients to cook.

    Step seven

    Time to start on the shrimp.

    Heat up a sauté pan and add ghee or olive oil and once it heats up, add the shrimp. Sauté for 5 minutes until the shrimp become opaque.

    Step eight

    Right before the shrimp are done cooking, add the drained noodles to the curry mixture and you can either toss in a handful of arugula or spinach or leave it plain.

    Step nine

    Add the shrimp to the noodle curry.

    Mix and stir the shrimp with the noodles.

    It’s ready to serve.

    I hope you enjoyed this shrimp curry recipe. It’s so yummy.  And remember if you want more curry sauce, use half the amount of noodles.

      The color is gorgeous, I love the idea of curry paste fried prawns with noodles. It must be so full of flavors and I could eat a whole pan alone once I start with one small bite.

      I’ve actually never made any curry dishes at home, that will have to change! I like the idea of shrimp with noodles and the slightly bitter arugula on top. A warm and cozy dish for the cold weather!
