Quick and Easy Thai Coconut Curry Sauce with Shrimp and Pasta

I could not believe how easy this recipe was. And the taste was unbelievable!! I used some shrimp and salmon but you could use just one or the other. If you want to make it super easy, just toss in some frozen Asian veggie mix. You can use any medium pasta or rice.
