    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.

    Before You Cook

    To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

    • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
    • Seafood 145° F |
    • Chicken 165° F |
    • Ground Beef 160° F |
    • Ground Turkey 165° F |
    • Ground Pork 160° F
    • If using tofu, line a plate with a paper towel. Cut tofu into 1" dice and place on towel-lined plate. Top with paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture. Season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Follow same instructions as shrimp in Step 4, stirring occasionally until tofu is lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.

    • If using 16 oz shrimp or jumbo shrimp, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt. Follow same instructions as regular shrimp, cooking in batches if necessary until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature.

    • If using diced chicken, follow same instructions in Steps 1 and 4, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.
