• 1 medium carrot (julienned)

• 1 medium zucchini (julienned)

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 sheets parchment paper

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha (if using), minced ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.

4. Lay out the parchment paper sheets (about 30 cm x 40 cm each) on a clean surface.

5. In the center of each parchment sheet, layer a portion of cooked rice noodles, followed by shrimp, julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Sprinkle each with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.

6. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared sauce over each pile of ingredients.

7. Fold the parchment paper over the ingredients to create a pouch. Tightly fold the edges to seal, leaving enough room for air to circulate inside.

8. Place the pouches on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque.

9. Remove the pouches from the oven, place each on a plate, and carefully open to release the steam.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant Thai Shrimp Noodle Pouches!
