1 lb. jumbo shrimp, shelled and de-veined
1/2 block of firm tofu, sliced in one-inch cubes
1 can coconut milk
1 can straw mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp. vegetable oil
Green onions and cilantro for garnish
Directions:
Sauté sugar snap peas very quickly in vegetable oil and remove from skillet. Toss shrimp and tofu in the Thai spice blend and sauté in the hot skillet for about two minutes, browning on both sides.

Simmer to taste but be careful not to over cook the shrimp.
Whole Spice Manager, Jackie Henkelman, likes to serve this with Jasmine rice and garnish with sliced green onions and tons of cilantro. She also likes to have some fresh hot chilis on the side.
