Coconut lovers unite! This Coconut Shrimp Fried Rice is bursting with fresh coconut flavor (and all the other reasons we love fried rice). This also happens to be the first NEW recipe published on Lemony Thyme in a really long time. It took spotting these young coconuts at a local farmers market to bring me back!

Mussels simmered in white wine, garlic and butter, in my opinion, rank right up there with Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. So why would I mess with an absolutely delicious recipe? Rhetorical.
Because Thai Seafood Chowder not only sounds like winning, but the addition of coconut milk, red curry paste and Serrano peppers took comfort to a new level. Continue reading »

I’m not sure how it happened. Ahi Tuna on sale for $6.99 a pound. Text message…go there. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars…just bring home Tuna. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. This was not Sushi grade tuna, for which we will pay up for. But it was fresh and thick and begging for a swim in marinade.
Seared Ahi Tuna {with Thai Risotto}. Continue reading »

We needed a side dish to go with one of our most favorite grilling recipes, Jamaican Jerk Marinated Turkey Breast. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how easily this Jamaican Red Beans & Rice {aka Rice & Peas} Recipe, courtesy of Jamaica Travel and Culture.com, came together. Continue reading »

With Grillin’ & Chillin’ weather upon us, I for one am looking for super easy recipes to throw on the grill (or in the cocktail shaker). These Coconut Curry Chicken Skewers couldn’t be much easier to prepare and who doesn’t love food on a stick! Continue reading »

We recently attended a wedding where we were treated to a most spectacular buffet of Thai food. The appetizer spread alone captivated our attention without end (check out my collage below). And when the dinner dishes were set out we approached them with the same enthusiasm. That’s fancy talk for multiple trips through the buffet line. While I was oh so happy with everything served, the Green Curry was still lingering in my mind three weeks later. Continue reading »

Thai Pumpkin Soup.
There was a time a few months a go that I heard there might be a shortage of canned pumpkin. Wait. A shortage of canned pumpkin? Seemed ridiculous. So I only bought 10 cans. Now I’m approaching the “Simplify” month(s) when I long to strip my pantry down to only the most essential ingredients. Some people cleanse, I purge the pantry. I have a few more cans of pumpkin to incorporate into dishes. Continue reading »

Here we go again with Red Curry Paste. I simply love how it’s flavor influences dishes. It’s not spicy hot, just full of wonderful fragrant ingredients. Today I was consumed by a craving for Thai Red Curry Carrot Soup. It began early this morning and by the time noon rolled around my mind was made up. Home I went and within 30 minutes we were enjoying this heavenly soup….it is that easy to make and oh so good. Continue reading »
