Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Rice noodles
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Bean sprouts
- 4 Green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup Chopped roasted peanuts
- 4 Lime wedges
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Tamarind paste
- 3 tbsp Fish sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (optional)
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in a bowl of warm water for about 10-15 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, tamarind paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha (if using), and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and quickly scramble them until just set. Push the eggs to the side of the pan.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil along with minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the soaked rice noodles to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the noodles. Toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet, along with bean sprouts and half of the chopped peanuts. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Pad Thai to serving plates.
Garnish with sliced green onions, the remaining chopped peanuts, and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy your Yummy Shrimp Pad Thai!
