On a recent trip to Bangkok, we frequented the river bar at the Hotel Shangri La, which was always quiet.
Sitting there with a Passionfruit Mojito or a Lemongrass Gin + Tonic and snacking on these spicy, salty Thai peanuts was pretty much the perfect break from the never-ending pace of Bangkok. Reminiscing of that time I bring to you this Thai- Style Spicy Kaffir Lime Peanuts recipe.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Hands down one of our favorite parts of Bangkok is the Chao Phraya riverfront. Lined with tall high rises and constantly bustling with everything from long-tail boats to barges and one-man rowboats, you could people watch for hours on end, preferably with a good long drink and snack, like these typical Thai peanuts. But you don’t have to be in Bangkok to enjoy them, you can people watch at the comfort of your front yard.
