    I was skeptical, but this recipe turned out very well! I would happily make it again. I used less couscous and shrimp than directed so it had a heavier veg component, and the curry paste I used made for a delicious result. This definitely scratched the "let's go for curry" itch.

    Easy to make and delicious. I used Israeli couscous (the large type and made it exactly as the recipe called; it was superb. I prepared all the ingredients in small bowls before my guests arrived. We enjoyed a glass of wine and and then I prepared this recipe right in front of them, since it takes only a short time to cook. The aromas in the kitchen had everyone excited from the start! Served, family style in bowls, the couscous, lettuce, shrimp in sauce, and small bowl of chopped peanuts so each guest could create the layers as described in the recipe. Everyone was raving about this dish - such a wonderful combination of flavors! I used snow peas instead of frozen peas. I used my homegrown fresh Thai Basil in the couscous and it was divine! If you don't have fresh basil leaves, I recommend using the"Gourmet Garden" fresh chopped basil that comes in a tube. Try this layered as described in the recipe - it's worth the little extra effort and so tasty!!

    I like that this gives you a base of coconut milk and curry paste that you could really add whatever you want to. I just added the lime and basil to the curry, along with some fish sauce. it was very good- at first I thought it smelled a little strange, but the longer it simmered on the stove, the more all the different flavors melded together. Thought it was even better the next day.

    Oh My Goodness! This recipe was fantastic! Such great flavors. I did substitute edamame for the peas as another reviewer suggested and served it over basil-lime jasmine rice instead of the couscous. I have tried many RR recipies on my family and this one has gotten the best reviews all around. Hy husband loved it and asked if I would make it again when his mother was in town this month! Delicious! The left-overs are even better!

    I watched this show yesterday and it looks fantastic.

    For some of you are wondering about the Peanut Butter Ingredient - Its for the Chicken Satay Recipe that she made BEFORE this recipe, hope this helps!

    Awesome, I just happen to see this on TV today, wrote the ingredients down and made it for dinner. I love curry and it was the easiest and full of freshness.

    I made this for dinner for us 3 nights ago...it was so incredibly delicious that I made it again the next two consecutive nights! And no...we did not get tired of it. I left out the peas on the second & third try and instead substituted it with small diced up potatoes. We served it over Jasmine rice on all nights and my entire family just loved it.

    I have made this dish several times and have served it over angel hair pasta, jasmine rice and rice noodles. All were very good. I have also substituted edamame for the peas. I really love this recipe and when I get a craving for it nothing satisfies until I have it. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that I enjoy as well as so many other people I have shared it with.
