Thai Shrimp & Chicken Stir Fry with Tomatoes and Basil

 

I'm just gonna say it..... this was THE BEST stir fry that I have made!  I think I may have said that once before...but this one... this one has now surpassed that one, whichever one it was!  This stir fry was fresh, it was delicious, it was gorgeous to look at... what else can you really ask for in a dish??

I wish there was more of it right now...  I want to make this at least 3 times a week...  I think I had a dream about this last night...  Have I mentioned how good this stir fry was??
