On the night this recipe was created, we had shrimp, shrooms, and snow peas with which to make dinner, and Hubbalicious said he wanted something spicy, to which I mused aloud how I've noticed that people who tend to say, "Oh, that's spicy!" in response to eating something hot usually don't have a high tolerance for capsaicin heat.

5. 3 serrano chilies, finely minced (Thai bird chilies are ideal and Chiles de arbol would also work well here.)
6. 1 Tablespoon crushed red chili flakes (like the kind you use on pizza and pasta)
7. the zest of 1 lime (or 3 kaffir lime leaves finely julienned)
8. 2 Tablespoons oil
9. 1-2 teaspoons curry powder, depending on how strong a curry flavor you prefer
10. 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
11. 1 Tablespoon lime juice

1. In a preheated medium high pan, saute the aromatics - onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, chili flakes, and lime zest - in the 2 Tablespoons of oil until the onions are translucent. Add the curry powder, stir to incorporate, and let the curry bloom for a minute or so.
2. Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir to incorporate thoroughly, turn the heat up to high, and bring the curry to an active boil for a minute.
3. Add in your protein and veg and bring the curry back up to a boil for a minute or so, turn the heat down to medium high, and let it simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until your protein is cooked through.

4. Give it a stir, adjust the seasoning if needed - a little more salt or fish sauce if you want it saltier, a little more lime juice if you like extra tang, maybe a pinch more of sugar to round out all the flavors - simmer another minute or two, and that's it! Serve with steamed rice.
5. For the curry in this pic I used: 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used 31/40 size), 1/2 pound button or crimini mushrooms, 1/2 pound snow peas, 1/2 red bell pepper cut into 1/4-inch strips, and an 8 oz can (the short one) of bamboo shoots, drained. But you can of course use whatever veg you like and have handy, following the general measurement guidelines of 1 pound of protein and 1 pound of veg for 4 servings.
