These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp

My big sis had originally given me this recipe, but then I came across it in a stack of recipes I'd pulled from Cooking Light and hadn't gotten around to making yet. I didn't realize they were the same recipe until I was partway through! :)
Jim and I love curry, so I always use more like a tablespoon of curry paste (rather than their mere 1/4 tsp). Strong and spicy ~ yum! Serve with sauteed snow peas and rice, just as pictured.
