Chop half an onion. Then peel and chop a chunk of ginger root. Crush a few garlic cloves.
Using fine olive oil saute them in a casserole. When the onions are tender add a small splash of Thai Red Curry Paste. Stir, and saute for a few seconds to release the flavor of the Curry Paste.
Now add a small amount of conconut milk and a tablespoon of flour. Boil. Be careful not to let anything burn.
Now add fresh coriander and basil, chopped to release their flavor.
Now add a splash of white wine (and/or chicken stock) and a pinch of Paprika and a grind of fresh pepper, and squeze in some lime juice.
Optional: Slice 1/2 an orange pepper into strips and add. If you're not a fan of orange peppers try chunks of fresh mango.
Now add the rest of the conconut milk and add a package of frozen peas. Boil. Add water (or chicken stock) if necessary to make sure nothing burns.
Finally, add the shrimp, boil until the shrimp are cooked and then serve.
