THAI-STYLE SWEET AND SALTY SHRIMP



Thai-Style Sweet and Salty Shrimp image

Made of equal parts sugar, fish sauce and vinegar, the sauce in the famous pad Thai at Kris Yenbamroong's Night + Market restaurants in Los Angeles is too good to be used exclusively on rice noodles. This adaptation is simmered with a tangle of shrimp, peanuts, scallions, chile and lime juice for for a sweet, salty stir-fry. Add a quick cooking vegetable, like peas, thinly sliced asparagus or bean sprouts, with the shrimp, or substitute tofu, salmon or cubed boneless chicken thighs for the shrimp. Serve over shredded cabbage, rice, a roasted sweet potato or rice noodles.

SWEET AND SPICY SHRIMP STIR-FRY



Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry image

I threw together a few random ingredients to create this stir-fry. It turned out DH thought it was the best ever and labeled it Recipezaar-worthy. The sauce is sweet and spicy with just the right amount of "kick". DH suggested the addition of sesame oil to the veggies just after they are cooked tender-crisp, which gives a little extra "something" to the dish. This recipe calls for shrimp, but one could substitute chicken or pork as well. Enjoy!

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and free-range shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it is pink and opaque.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the shrimp and vegetables and create a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fresh.
