Crock Pot Red Curry Chicken & Asparagus
I love a good Thai curry dish. This is a staple recipe when we have a busy night planned. If you want additional spice add more red curry paste and adding extra lime juice with serving is always a must for me. Serving with rice on the side allows you take full advantage of the delicious sauce. Enjoy!
