Thai Basil Shrimp & Noodles By: Zachari B.

Recipe Story

Growing up on the water, my best friend (who had CF) and I would always go fishing, crabbing, and catch shrimp. As we got older, our tastes grew - this recipe exemplifies complex culinary flavors with seafood that is very easy to prepare. This recipe is chock full of vegetables, protein, and sodium - perfect for any CF’er with an adventurous palate!
