May 23, 20188 yr In the USA (New York City in particular where there is a decent amount of Thais) I have no issue eating Thai curry (green, massaman, etc.). In Thailand, I have seen the ingredient shrimp listed. I am allergic to shellfish of all sorts and will get sick. Therefore I never actually tried it whilst I was in the country. I'm not sure if it's an ingredient in the U.S recipe as well. Usually the brand that I use over here when eating is: Maesri. Maybe it is included but it's such a minimal amount that it doesn't really do any damage. Does all Thai curry include shrimp or shrimp paste?

May 24, 20188 yr I use Lobo brand curry paste packets in Thailand and they all (red, green and masaman) list shrimp paste, usually about 4% as an ingredient and have a warning notice on the packet in this regard...if yer allergic it's a good idea to keep an eye on the curry packet ingredients... but ye gotta ask yerself, what would a thai curry paste be without shrimp paste? most of them combine with coconut cream which may be another allergic hazard...
