Shrimp Stir Fry with Green Curry Sauce for #FishFridayFoodies

It's time for Fish Friday Foodies again.   This month we're doing Stir-Fries featuring Seafood as suggested by our hostess Karen from Karen's Kitchen Stories.

I was all set to use Shrimp, but decided against it.   I had some cod in the freezer but it seems to have gone walkabout so I used some Sole instead.   I've been craving fish and veggies lately anyway.
I went online and searched for a recipe and found one on this site.  And followed it.
I forgot to buy scallions the other day, but have lots of chives in my pots.  I also added an extra pepper, cause I found one called Aloha and it was gorgeous. It was red and yellow and orange.
  I also used fresh bird peppers, because I love them, and the heat they impart.  And... I added some Bok Choy Sum., cause I could.

Cooked it, tasted it and promptly made it an offering to the kitchen goddess.
I don't know if it was a combination of the spices, sauces, or just what, but I ended up dumping the whole thing. It was awful, or at least, my mouth said NO WAY!

Luckily I had some of the pepper left over, and decided to start from scratch.  I had also bought some shrimp for Thanksgiving and decided to break into that package for this.

    1. That's what I get for procrastinating, making it at the last minute. And I loved it. Although next time I'll maybe change it up a little. I'm the cook and I get to do that.

  2. I'm sorry your first dish didn't work but the shrimp dish looks amazing.

    1. It's rare that I make something that was so inedible, but it was nasty. That's OK, I had shrimp handy and I know how to use it.
