Shrimp in Thai Curry Sauce

I've been feeling a bit under the weather, so I really wanted to make something warm that would wake up my sinuses. I already had a lot of ingredients on hand from when I made Thai Chicken Curry, so I only had to make a quick trip to the store. The hot shrimp and slightly-spicy sauce were the perfect answer to my cold and took less than a half hour to put together.
