Salt & Pepper Shrimp with Dry Fried Green Beans

I decided to make this again. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way to only use a non-stick pan for the second step of the shrimp. I used my Mauviel carbon steel pan, and the batter on the shrimp went everywhere – except on the shrimp.

Thai Curry with Dồi Xá Chiên Tây Hồ Sausage, Gai Lan and Mushrooms

This was an experiment. I took the basic curry from the Thai Curry Mussels and added the Dồi Xá Chiên Tây Hồ Sausage, blanched some Gai La, threw in some mushrooms and garnished with some Thai basil. I unfortunately didn’t think to make some sticky rice to go with this.
