3. Add the curry paste to the skillet and mix it in with the onion and garlic
4. If the paste starts burning, reduce the heat under the skillet
5. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the coconut milk and fish sauce (if using)
6. Stir, reduce the heat, and bring to a light simmer, then add the arrowroot slurry
7. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously, to allow the sauce to thicken
8. Add the bell pepper, peas, and shrimp
9. Cook until the shrimp is no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken a bit more
10. Garnish and enjoy!
