Red Curry Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 lime, juiced

Place a small pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Stir the red curry paste into the pan and fry until aromatic. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue to stir to incorporate. Add the lime juice (and 1 of the squeezed out halves for added flavor) and cook for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and serve with the coconut shrimp.
