Thailand and Italy are both known for great cuisine and great vacations. But maybe you've never thought of them together, at least not until you had this meal. Succulent shrimp, with ginger and garlic flavors as well as fresh bok choy and a smattering of sweet, rich coconut… all with that creamy rice base that makes risotto such a rock star dish. Thaitalian fusion? Let's make it a thing. Tip: Bok choy can retain some grit, even after washing. To completely clean, hold upside down in a bowl of water. Shake slightly to release the grit.
