Seafood…why yes please!! Who better than the 2017 World Seafood Champion to make a seafood dish for a contest entry? That would be me!!! The last jar of my contest journey with BLENDABELLA was to use their Coconut Thai blend. But before I share my recipe let me tell you about their prizes since I am cooking to compete.

This round is Coconut Thai BLENDABELLA. This jar is so full of complex flavors. It easily replaces the many different spices you would need to buy to get a great Thai flavor. But no need to buy them all just purchase the BLENDABELLA product and you are set to go.
Veggie bowls are so popular. Adding a protein makes it a complete meal. The kind of protein you use is really up to you. I chose crawfish which goes so well with Thai flavors. Shrimp or a firm white fish would work great also. I served the bowls hot but they could be served chilled as well.
