thai shrimp curry

I found the original recipe on the Once Upon a Chef food blog but incorporated some of Giada's Thai Curry ingredients until we hit upon the version we liked. We like lots of shrimp, but you can use less (or even more, for that matter!) than I have listed, because the vegetables go a long way toward making this a fairly filling main dish.
