Description
This paleo recipe is incredible. Thai flavors are very savory in the mouth and sometimes sweet and savory at the same time. I love to serve this with my Paleo Thai Fish Skewers and in fact I use the same marinade for each, so you can save yourself lots of time if you want to make both together
