Thai Basil Shrimp Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

One of the most popular street dishes in thailand is made with fragrant basil leaves and a combination of protein (chicken, pork or seafood) and vegetables. This is the seafood version, and it's simply a stupendous dish. Here it's made with shrimp, but any seafood would work equally well, or a combination of shrimp and mussels, for example. It's usually quite spicy with red chili scattered throughout or sometimes added on top. In addition, it's common to serve this dish with rice and a fried egg. If you're ready to take on a true thai dish, give this one a whirl--you won't be disappointed
