Receta Shrimp in Spicy Coconut Broth
“Are you going to write another recipe about shrimp?” asked my husband as I started to put this post together.
“Yes sir I am”
I like Thai food. No let me correct myself, I love Thai food. I love the use of coconut milk in so many recipes. I love the spiciness of every dish. I love the complexity of flavors from a variety of ingredients that are used to make those dishes. I decided to dab with Thai flavors and make one myself.
I must admit it came out great. We both loved it. I am so proud of myself.
By the way if shrimp is not your thing, this recipe can easily be made with chicken breast.
