Thai Cashew Shrimp Recipe

My cousin, Josh, introduced JSarr to yellow curry, and he hasn’t turned back.  I decided that I wanted to recreate my Cashew Prawns dish, since I love it so much, and I’d love to include it in our monthly rotation.  It’s not the exact same, but it’s close.

My Abbie girl even helps me peel the carrots and use our vegetable crinkle cutter to give the carrots a little shape.  She actually asked for a potato peeler for Christmas since she loves helping in the kitchen, and my peeler is lethal.  So her grandma gave her a much safer peeler.

The family loved it along with me.  I wanted to hide and finish the leftovers all by myself the next day!  I make this for flavorful variety and throw it into our meal rotation.
