Thai Cashew Shrimp
How exotic of an eater are you? Have you ever delve into the wonderful wonder of Thai? We have had it periodically in our marriage, but we are enjoying it even more these days. JSarr and I love eating at a local Thai place, Mai Phim. Every time we eat there, I get the exact same dish, Cashew Prawns, and he gets the yellow curry.
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.
