Thai Marinated Shrimp

by Karin Calloway
Marinated shrimp is a cocktail party favorite, and this recipe takes a Thai twist for a recipe that’s sure to be a hit at your next get together. Having your fish monger steam the shrimp will save you time in the kitchen. The salad is also delicious made with grilled shrimp. Turn the leftover shrimp into an entrée salad, serving the shrimp atop shredded lettuce and cabbage and thinly sliced cucumbers.
