My first love for peanuts.
I know you’re thinking…Peanut Milk? Yes, you read that right! Before I share about peanut milk, I want to share a backstory. My Dad LOVED boiled peanuts. When I was a little girl while on our way to Albany, Georgia to visit family, we would always pass a sign that said “Boiled Peanuts”. It took nothing for my Dad to bust a U-turn or pull over on the side of the road to pay a visit to the gentleman selling boiled peanuts off the back of his pick-up truck. Excitedly, he would get me a bag of plain peanuts because I wasn’t quite ready to try them boiled just yet. This will also remain a memory that will always remain with me, and the rest is history. This post is sponsored by #Foodiechats in Partnership with Georgia Peanuts. All opinions expressed are my own.
Mr. is also a big fan of boiled peanuts. He’s actually the one that got me to try boiled peanuts for the first time. They don’t call boiled peanuts the “Caviar of the South” for nothin’!
What is Peanut Milk?
Thanks to my friends over at #Foodiechats, I get to share something exciting with you! Elmhurst is an innovative plant-based beverage company that was recently introduced to the peanut industry. They also use a patented “cold-milking” production process to craft the world’s first commercially available plant-based milk from peanuts! How cool is that?
Luckily, this delicious peanut milk comes in two flavors: Elmhurst Milked Peanuts™ (regular) and Elmhurst Milked Peanuts™ – Chocolate. Elmhurst Milked Peanuts™ contains 31 peanuts, 6g of protein per 8 oz glass, and the Chocolate Elmhurst Milked Peanuts™ contains 8g of protein and only 3g of fat per 8 oz glass. They are both also non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, lactose-free, Kosher, and made from whole, raw peanuts. In addition, they do not contain industrial stabilizers, whiteners, emulsifiers, or gums found typically in plant-based beverages.
Let’s get into this Peanut Coconut Curry Shrimp!
Let me tell you…this is a first for me. It’s SO GOOD! After tasting it, I knew I could get super creative by thinking outside the box to develop a unique recipe. That’s when I decided to make Peanut Coconut Curry Shrimp! And the rest is history!
We love options for these shrimp!
- You can serve this skillet dish over noodles or rice.
- If you can’t find Elmhurst peanut milk, feel free to use coconut milk in its place, just add peanut butter to taste. You can start off with two tablespoons and go from there.
- I like this brand of Safflower Oil. You can use your favorite cooking oil in the place of safflower oil.
- You can cut back to one tablespoon of peanut butter, but I believe the more the merrier!
