Thai Shrimp Scampi

7/28/15

Tickle your taste buds with this thai shrimp scampi that will leave you full and satisfied.

Thai Shrimp ScampiDo you love Thai food? If you do, then we should be best friends. I’m huge on pasta (and chocolate). But the past few weeks, I’ve been craving for Thai food. Any kind of Thai food – fried noodle or with gravy. In fact, I made a big batch of Thai foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner… and yet still crave for another plate.

Thai Shrimp ScampiI feel bad for the hubby though since he needs to finish whatever dish I put on the table… like it or not. So, to make it up to him but at the same time to satisfy my craving for Thai foods, I made this Thai Shrimp Scampi. As a pasta girl, I like anything simple on my plate… like aglio e olio, with not lots of sauce.

Thai Shrimp ScampiThough this scampi looks plain, it is actually full of flavors. Forget adding white wine to your pasta, because we will be adding green Thai curry instead to bring a unique and yet exotic Thai flavor to the table.

    I do, I do love Thai food!! I rarely make it at home tho which is such a shame. I’ve built up my stock ingredients recently and am pretty sure I have everything to make this, even the shrimp!! They’re Mexican shrimp, but I don’t think they’ll mind 😉 Loving it!

    hi Joy! I pinned this recipe & a friend is asking me if you really use 1 cup of Thai basil. It does sound like a lot. Looks fantastic!
