Notes

Use fresh ingredients whenever possible; they make a significant difference in flavor. Taste as you cook to balance seasonings accordingly. For a spicier kick, add chopped chili pepper when cooking with the curry paste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze by omitting basil and lime juice until reheating for the best flavor. Garnish with additional basil and lime for a vibrant presentation. Enjoy with crusty bread or rice!
