Kayb set out to re-create a dish that she enjoyed in a restaurant, and although I don't know how this compares to what she tasted, I do know that this is perfectly delicious. She has finely tuned the proportions of the key flavoring ingredients, which are all rather bold, to create a balanced sauce that does not overwhelm the fish. To my mind, this is even tastier than the red curries at the best Thai restaurants I’ve eaten at. I’m so looking forward to making this again with similar kinds of fish, as well as with seafood, tofu and chicken. - Antonia James

I first had coconut curry sauce with grouper in a restaurant in South Beach, and fell in love. I came home and worked until I'd recreated the sauce, which is now my go-to sauce for grilled or broiled seafood. I like to serve this wtih roasted or grilled broccoli and a Jasmine rice with lots of Thai basil and green onions in it. - Kayb
