If you love Thai food as much as I do, you’ll love this quick and easy dish, perfect for a busy weeknight! A lot of Thai dishes are hard to make at home if you don’t have access to a good Asian market, but luckily with the popularity of Thai cuisine, company’s like Thai Kitchen have made a lot of the ingredients available in your local supermarket. You can adjust the heat to your liking by adding more or less green curry paste, if you prefer you can use cilantro in place of the basil. Enjoy!!
