Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I give this a 5 star rating.. Delicious -the curry sauce is very creamy and has just enough spice.

Despite the long list of ingredients, this recipe is very simple to prepare. The red curry paste gives it a light curry flavor that is wonderfully complemented by the coconut milk and other ingredients. My only complaint is leaving the tails on the shrimp. I understand for aesthetic purposes it looks nicer but unless you are eating shrimp with your fingers it's more of a headache than anything.
