Pour in the coconut milk, stirring vigorously to incorporate. Add the cherry tomatoes, fish sauce (or soy sauce) and sugar if used. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Divide the curry into deep bowls. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and red chili slices if used. Serve with lime wedges and Thai or basmati rice.
- Curry paste: Choose a quality paste. It is the base of the flavor.
- Coconut milk: Do not boil it vigorously to avoid it splitting (separation of water and cream).
- Shrimp: If frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator and pat dry thoroughly before cooking.
- Balance: Adding a little sugar and acidity (lime) is essential to balance the salty, spicy and fatty flavors of the curry.
- Serving: Serve with fragrant white rice (jasmine or basmati) and possibly naan or roti. Wine pairing: Gewurztraminer or Riesling.
