Since I moved to Tampa, I missed those girls’ night out that I used to enjoy with my Jersey girls. I was so happy this past weekend when I went out with my friends Janice and Marissa. Firstly, we had dinner in a cozy Thai restaurant; then we went to challenge our artistic skills by going to a sip and paint party.
Today, I was determined to recreate the rice noodle soup that I had at the restaurant. I was so proud that mine was so delicious and even more flavorful than the one I had. I added shrimp in mine. I only wish you could taste it.
I am sharing how I prepared my soup with you. Will you try it? Let me know.

You can definitely replace the shrimp with chicken, Amanda.
Love Thai food. Luckily I have an international market where I get my red, green, and yellow curry. My favorite dish is green papaya salad. With spicy shrimp and potatoes curry. Yummy

You should share your recipe with me, I would love to try to green papaya salad.
Yum! I want to try this. The addition of shrimp probably makes it so much better, too!
