You may not even need to go to an Asian market. In the US, anyway,
most major grocery stores will carry at least on brand of curry paste,
although you'll end up paying almost $5 for a tiny jar (<2oz).
You can get a few different brands, for very little $$$, from

(No affiliation. I use them when I am too lazy to trek to the
nearest Asian market.)

I'm guessing if the poster can't find red curry paste, he/she
probably won't find lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, shrimp
paste, or Thai chiles either. ;-)

I'm surprised that your original recipe has hoisin sauce,
instead of Thai fish sauce.
