Best meal I ever ate:

I have to say it was one my husband and I cooked ourselves, our appetizer was one we copied from our favorite restaurant so we call it Katana Thai Shrimp. It has a dressing of rice vinegar, fish sauce, sesame oil and hoisin sauce. The shrimp is cooked in butter then simmered in lemon juice , garlic and wine. We toss the salad greens with the dressing and plate it, we deep fry some rice paper and put on top of greens then add the shrimp and sauce. Sooo yummy. We then had crusted rack of lamb and for dessert home made truffles.
