I first posted about my experience with Blue Apron back in January and Sunday night I made one of the most ambitious meals ever and honestly if it wasn’t for them, I don’t think I would have tried to make it! I don’t normally eat Thai food nor would I think to try to make it! After following the recipe, I realized it actually wasn’t that hard and couldn’t wait to share with you!
What You’ll Need:
What You’ll Need:
+ 8 ounces of shrimp
+ 1 pound tom yum noodles
+ 1/2 cup coconut milk powder
+ 2 garlic cloves
+ 1 bunch Gai Lan – this is like a leafy spinach
+ 1 lime
+ 1 bunch cilantro
+ 1 bunch basil
+ 2 tablespoons of tom yum paste
+ 1 inch piece of ginger
+ 1/3 cup of peanuts
The benefits of attempting this type of meal with the Blue Apron service is that these harder to find ingredients are already included and you can really taste the freshness in each meal.
1. After you have washed and chopped your fresh produce put off to the side – make sure the Gai Lan ends are chopped off.
2. Heat a large pot of water so that it starts boiling
3. In a medium bowl stir the coconut milk powder with 1/2 a cup of water until smooth
4. In a large pan heat 2 teaspoons of oil and add the garlic and ginger for about 1 minute – until you start to smell the aromas
5. Add in the gain lan, half the basil and 2 tablespoons of water and season with salt and pepper! About 2-4 minutes!
6. Once the water has boiled, place the noodles to cook for about 4 minutes…you want them to be a little firm to the bite – transfer them to the pan once done
7. Add the shrimp, coconut milk powder mixture, 1/2 a cup of water all together into the pan
8. Cook until the shrimp is thoroughly cooked – once done remove from heat and stir in the juice of two lime wedges!
Garnish with cilantro, peanuts and the other two halves of the lime wedges. All that’s left to do is enjoy!
This recipe took about 30 minutes including prep time to make, as is the case for almost all Blue Apron meals and was under 600 calories! I’m already looking forward to the lamb meatball stew and blackened codthat’s on their menu this week!

How ambitious do you like to be with your cooking? Are you a fan of Thai food?
Thank you to Blue Apron for Sponsoring this post!
xo,
Ok, so not a shrimp fan (actually not a seafood fan 😐 ) but this looks really delish and I love that everything is ready to go for you and even though it seems difficult it's actually easy! I love meals that seem like you spend hours slaving away but were really super easy to make!

This looks great! All of these BlueApron (and similar companies) posts by people definitely has me wanting to try to the service. I just would want to pick out which meals that I got. So glad you're enjoying your subscription!
WOW, you did an amazing job, lady! That recipe does sound ambitious but it's awesome they broke everything down for you. Glad you are liking the service!
love this service.
Oh my that looks delicious!!! I dont know if I have ever had Tom Yum but I think I need to soon!
You go, girlfriend! This looks and sounds so good!

Other than the shrimp this looks DELISH! Such an amazing service 🙂
Yummm!! This looks so good and packed with flavor!
This looks so good! We have a similar local food delivery service that is on my list to try. I love Thai food but really have never made it, good for you expanding your cooking wheel!
i love love thai and this looks SO good. i can't get over how they provide all the things! i should sign up already 🙂 good work on another great meal!! xo

Love Thai food! I really like that they included all of the ingredients for you too, that's great!! I can just have my sister in Singapore send me some of that paste haha. Thank you so much for sharing lady!! 🙂

This looks so good and seems so ambitious! Way to go, friend!
This looks so delicious!! I love how you get all the little ingredients- that's the worst part for me when making a complicated recipe (which I hardly do lol). Have a great day girlfriend!! xo
Holy! This looks so yummy! I'm a big Thai food fan and those thick noodles look amazing! Yum!!

Love that it uses coconut milk powder!! I would love to try this. xo
Looks so good! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the cod. I love seafood!
I'm not ambitious at all! I really don't even like cooking but I love the idea of having everything you need for a meal delivered to your door! How does it work with stuff like shrimp? Were you nervous to eat it? Looks yummy!
Yum! It looks like you nailed this recipe. Glad you're enjoying the Blue Apron service!
30 minutes total? That's really not bad, plus it looks so yummy. I really like the idea of having every single ingredient you need for a meal sent to you. For as much of a variety you have in a city, it can also be a challenge to find certain things. You want some kind of weird spice? Here you go. Pre shredded cheese? Nope.

This recipe looks seriously amazing!! I love those thick noodles and can never find them in the grocery store. Will have to check out Blue Apron.
This looks DELISH! I'm pinning to remember to make next week!
That looks soooo good! Minus the shrimp 🙂 I really need to try out Blue Apron- all of your meals look so delish!
That looks awesome. I'm intrigued by this milk powder, I've never cooked with that before.
This looks really good, and I am sure my son would love it! I followed the Tom yum paste back to the wiki link you left, and it doesn't say if it has Soy or not in it – Do you happen to know. My Emry has an intolerance to soy!
All of the flavors must have melded so well together! Blue apron looks like a really great company – and I would love to give them a try. Have to see if my hubby thinks so too!
Sounds delish!!
Stop! My stomach can't take it. I feel trapped at work right now and totally want to eat this. haha. How do these noodles compare to the ones in peanut thai recipes? Are they similar. I have those on hand at home. (:
This looks amazing! Sounds like a good one for me with the addition of zoodles!
That looks so good! Now I'm hungry!
I eat thai food probably once a week due the fact we have an amazing restaurant so close to us however this recipe looks amazing. I totally agree whenever I make thai food I buy all the ingredients and it works for just that meal and usually the leftover go to waste. You really are inspiring me to look into this!
That looks amazing and I am super impressed! I've never even attempted Thai food!
This looks amazing! Someone tell Blue Apron to start shipping to KC because I want this so badly!!

You could totally zoodle this up.
Tom Yum Noodles… never heard of that before.
that looks so DANG good.
I'm ambitious in the summer more and I'm guessing bc the ingredients are more fresh, etc.! This looks fantastic- cannot wait to try it! Yum!
This looks so good! I'm loving that they send you everything!
Xoxo,

Oh man that seriously looks so good! I love noodle dishes! Thanks for sharing girl!
I love Thai food but I have never made it! I cannot believe that took only 30 mins!
Oh yum, this looks so good! I didn't know that all Blue Apron meals are under 600 calories! I need to check them out very soon.
Oh lawd… this looks pretty great! I might just have to bite the bullet and just sign up for Blue Apron…… I think I need this in my life. xoxo
Oh that looks amazing. I kind of want to try out blue apron because there are so many ingredients that I can't find ANYWHERE in DC! Can you tailor your deliveries to fit dietary needs?
And I love Thai but I never cook it!
Blue Apron sounds amazing! I may have to try this recipe — don't love shrimp, but a noodle dish is always amazing!
xo Southern Style
i would definitely not try this on my own, so i love the idea of trying fancy thing with blue apron. meanwhile, your bowl is so small! haha i'm such a pig when i eat, my bowl would be like 3 times the size.
I think this is definitely the way I would attempt Thai food too! It seems pretty intimidating any other way. Plus, I love all the ingredients measured out exactly how you need them. This looks sooo delish!

This sounds and looks so yummy!
Doesn't it always make you feel great when you impress yourself with cooking? 😉 go you! This looks amazing!!!
Oh this looks sooo good! I don't know if I'm fancy enough to try cooking it myself but now you've got me craving Thai like crazy!
Yum!! This looks amazing. I'm not terribly adventurous in the kitchen, but you've got me feeling inspired here. Thanks for sharing!

I've never heard of Tom Yum noodles. I love that they have most of the ingredients included.
Yummy! My daughter would love this!

Wow, that looks way too incredible. We always hear the best things about Blue Apron but are too stubborn to spend the money 😉

I just got my first Blue Apron box today! I can't wait to try it out! I hope I get this meal, holy cow! 🙂 xo
When it comes to thai food I always get pad thai and never stray from that! The yum noodles look really interesting, but the flavors of this sound like it would be delicious! And I would love having all of the ingredients you need ready to go!
I may not be skilled enough to even attempt this but it sure looks yummy!!
Yum! I keep getting their emails and keep wishing that they had this available for San Antonio.
