Description

The stars of this Thai-scented recipe are without a doubt those juicy curlicues of shrimp sitting pretty in each bowl. With a sauce of sweet chili and fresh basil, the fragrance is exquisite. Match them with crisp-tender Asian greens and sautéed zucchini, and serve the works over fluffed jasmine rice. Then get going with a garnish of tangy lime wedges and crunchy peanuts, and wait for the final embellishment: praise from all sides.
