Thai Basil shrimp with veggies and...
« Reply #-1 on: March 03, 2015, 08:28:05 PM »
Made one of the wife's favorites - U15 shrimp with peppers, snow peas, and Florida onion  in a Thai spice sauce with Thai basil and cilantro. I fry the shells from shrimp in oil and add a little chicken stock to get flavor out.  I do the peppers and onion in a little roasted chili paste, oil, garlic and fresh grated ginger. Remove to platter when 3/4 done. Add a little oil, garlic and ginger and red curry paste. Toss in shrimp and snow peas. Get them almost done, added the shrimp stock and a little chicken stock if needed, thicken with a little cornstarch, add other veggies, fish sauce, a little mushroom soy, and bunch of chopped Thai basil and cilantro. Toss it all around and let it sit for 2 - 3 mins to get flavor some basil into dish. Serve with Jasmine rice.

As a side - not needed but - I made a cold sesame rice noodle salad with cucumber, peppers, onion, snow peas (OK, repetitive veggies) bean sprouts. Lightly sauteed the peppers, onion and snow peas in a little oil with chopped garlic,  fresh ginger, and roasted chili paste. Removed from heat. Added a little peanut butter in there and Sriracha, Thai fish sauce, chopped cilantro tossed in with noodles and threw it all in the freezer to get temps down to a chill..

Decent dinner.

A really excellent Thai restaurant is just a couple miles away - I love their Holy Thai Basil - but this sounds even better. My only problem is finding Thai Basil - have to grow my own. Beautiful dish - would love to share some!

Thai basil like heat. I do grow my own in PA. Also very lucky to have a couple of good Asian markets there. Here in Florida one of the first things I did was to find a good Asian market and luckily they carry excellent Thai basil. It is such an amazing spice.

Very nice!   Thai food is one of my absolute favorites, but haven't gotten too far into cooking it myself.  Have done a couple of dishes, but finding the correct ingredients can be challenging sometimes around here too.
