I love a good appetizer shrimp recipe, and my favourite is this easy Garlic Shrimp. Yet I’ve never passed up this Hot Shrimp Dip either, YUM!
Know what else is a classic? Peanut butter is a fan favourite, I’m reminded of this as my Peanut Butter Balls recipe is going viral these days! So many are already planning their holiday cooking and baking, and who can blame them – the comfort foods are needed this time of year!
I wanted to make another recipe using peanut butter and had the tendency to go with a sweet dessert. Yet I spotted the recipe for Thai Shrimp with Peanut Dipping Sauce and knew I just had to try it.
I have a mad-passion for Thai food these days, I truly cannot get enough. Yet also I wanted to break from the usual various ways I use peanut butter, and try something savoury.
This pantry staple ingredient was going to work outside of the box!
What truly surprised me with this recipe for Thai Shrimp with Peanut Dipping Sauce, is that it takes so few ingredients, and took no time to make at all.
This appetizer recipe is fantastic, and one that should be added to your rotation this holiday season, and beyond.
Not only is the shrimp cooked in the flavourful sauce which includes peanut butter, you have the option of using the remaining as a dip for those who need more added.
I assumed this would be a recipe that adults would enjoy the most, yet my kids were drooling at the stove and rushed me through taking photos so they could dive in. I wasn’t certain whether they’d be fans, yet there was a request to make it again. Recipe score!
