Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad

 

I fell in love with Thai and Vietnamese food a few years ago while visiting San Francisco. Whenever I stumble across a recipe that reminds me of the culinary adventure I experienced on vacation, I am eager to add the recipes to our weekly menu. 

Once I opened up the recipe, I was slightly intimidated...there are a lot of ingredients but if you break it into the dressing, shrimp, and salad categories, it becomes much less daunting. 

Grilled Shrimp Tostadas

We are becoming big tostada fans at our house! So quick and easy with lots of possible variations to mix it up.

You can make this recipe pretty quickly but if you'd like to make the prep a bit shorter, you can opt to buy premade guacamole instead of making your own. 

Spicy Shrimp Tacos

These Spicy Shrimp Tacos have a little kick to them with a bit of lime to balance the flavor nicely. They are easy to throw together with just a few ingredients. They were tasty in a corn tortilla but just as yummy in a lettuce wrap.

Shrimp and Grits

The first time I had shrimp and grits, I was on vacation. It was so delicious that I asked the chef for the recipe. What I received was a list of ingredients 🥴 So…I searched the internet and found this recipe which contained nearly an identical list of ingredients. Once I made these shrimp and grits for the first time, my hunt for the perfect recipe was over. THIS IS IT!

This dish is sooo good but sooo not healthy. We all deserve a splurge every once in a while. Tonight was my night! Each time I make this dish, I contemplate changing a few things to make it a bit healthier but it’s so good the way it is that I just can’t bring myself to make any additional changes. I just savor every single bite…it’s seriously that good 😋
