Very tasty Sue. Thank you. -
This was VERY yummy and quite easy to do! I took the dish to a Thai cooking night at a friends house and it went very fast! Only thing I changed was I didn't have the dried shrimp as I couldn't get my hands on any. And, I added more cilantro as I think it is delicious!

I wasn't able to find cayenne peppers at the grocery store but still tasted amazing without it, next time i'll probably add a red bell pepper as a substitute. -
