Let's Get Together Thai Shrimp

Submitted by Dr. Jenny

"This recipe is credited to Marie Saba from the Aug/Sept 2011 "Taste of Home" magazine, who makes this dish when she and her husband have a date night. DH and I made it last night and loved it. My curry powder tends to be on the hotter side, which gave it a nice kick. We served over jasmine rice."

Reviewed for ZWT9 - this is a delicious dish and super easy to prepare and cook too. I cut back a little on the dried chilli flakes, but otherwise made as written. Delicious :)

Never EVER try to buy Cilantro on May 4th! I went to two stores in the pouring rain, and there was no Cilantro to be had! I know it would have enhanced the flavors of this dish! I did not use all the red pepper flakes called for in the recipe, and will double the garlic and ginger next time. Sorry, but I did not remember I was to garnish with cashews until after I had eaten my dinner! Made for Spring Photo Tag 2013.
