I have a dietary restriction and need to avoid shellfish. 
Can anyone confirm if Thai yellow curry usually contains shellfish as an ingredient? 
Your insights would be super helpful! Thanks a bunch!

Thai yellow curry does not totally include shellfish. It is traditionally made with a combination of yellow curry paste, coconut milk, and a variety of vegetables and proteins. 
However, the curry paste sometimes contains shrimp paste, which has shellfish. 
The shrimp paste is used in small amounts, but if you're worried, you can ask about the ingredients used or make the curry at home.
