Phuket-Style Crab Curry

Phuket-style crab curry is a traditional curry originating from Thailand as a specialty of Phuket. The curry is usually yellow, sometimes red, and it's made with a combination of red or yellow curry paste, large chunks of cooked crab meat, coconut milk, shrimp paste, fish sauce, and sugar. The ingredients are simmered over low heat until the curry develops a thick consistency. Once done, Phuket-style crab curry is traditionally served with vermicelli rice noodles.
