PEANUT NOODLES WITH SHRIMP



Peanut Noodles With Shrimp image

Don't order takeout. You can make these super easy Thai-inspired peanut noodles at home for a fraction of the cost. First, make a quick peanut sauce of peanut butter (chunky or smooth, your call), lime juice, lime zest, sugar, fish sauce and water. Toss rice noodles into boiling water and remove from heat to soften. Meanwhile, sauté the shrimp with a heady combination of scallions, carrots, garlic and chile (for a meatless version, leave out the shrimp or substitute tofu). When the noodles are soft, but not mushy, drain and toss with the shrimp, vegetables and peanut sauce. Garnish with herbs and lime wedges. Now go directly to your junk drawer and throw away all of your takeout menus.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Salt
3 limes
1/3 cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce)
12 to 16 ounces rice noodles (not vermicelli)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled
1 bunch scallions, sliced
2 grated carrots (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 minced fresh hot chile, like jalapeño or Thai, or more to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, mint or Thai basil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cut two limes into wedges and set aside. Grate zest from remaining lime into a large bowl and squeeze in its juice. Add peanut butter, sugar, nam pla and enough water to make a smooth sauce (start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed).
  • When water comes to a boil, put noodles in pot; remove from heat.
  • Put oil in a large skillet over high heat. A minute later, add shrimp and season with salt. Cook and stir until shrimp just begins to turn pink. Add scallions, carrots, garlic and chile and keep cooking and stirring until vegetables soften a bit and shrimp cooks through, just a minute or two more. Remove from heat.
  • Noodles should be soft but not mushy; if they are not soft enough, let them sit a few more minutes. Drain noodles and toss them in a bowl along with shrimp mixture and peanut sauce. Sprinkle with lots of pepper and toss well; taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with herbs and lime wedges.

PEANUT SAUCE OVER SHRIMP SKEWERS AND RICE NOODLES



Peanut Sauce Over Shrimp Skewers and Rice Noodles image

Inspired by the flavors of Southeast Asia, GZ makes his take on Vietnamese bun with rice vermicelli, grilled soy-lime shrimp and julienned carrots and daikon. In place of the usual tangy fish sauce dressing, he tops the noodle bowl with a richer peanut sauce. Store-bought peanut butter is a shortcut for the traditional whole roasted peanuts and palm sugar in the satay-style sauce. To add a fragrant citrus note, he adds a dab of lemongrass paste from the tube. This versatile sauce pairs well with chicken and pork, as well as shrimp, and is delicious mixed into the noodles.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons sweet chile sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon lemongrass paste
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
12 (U-10) shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
8 ounces rice vermicelli, cooked
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds, plus additional for garnish
2 teaspoons white sesame seeds, plus additional for garnish
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup seeded and diced, unpeeled English cucumber
1 cup julienned daikon
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: Combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, chile sauce, lime juice, vinegar, lemongrass paste, fish sauce and black pepper. Season with a pinch of salt. Add water to thin as needed. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • For the noodles: Heat a griddle pan on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler to high. Skewer 3 shrimp with two parallel skewers to make 4 skewers with 3 shrimp each. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the soy with the lime juice and zest; reserve half in a separate small bowl. Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
  • Toss the noodles in a bowl with the sesame oil and the black and white sesame seeds. Arrange the rice noodles at the bottom of a serving bowl. Drizzle some of the peanut sauce on top. Top with the carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, daikon and scallions. Add the shrimp skewers to the bowl. Serve warm with a lime wedge and extra peanut sauce on the side.

THAI PEANUT SHRIMP, ASPARAGUS AND NOODLES



Thai Peanut Shrimp, Asparagus and Noodles image

I made up this recipe after experimenting with several different recipes from many different sources. I like to serve this with recipe #101790 (Oriental Cucumber Salad) and either potstickers or hot and sour soup. You can also make it with other meats like chicken or pork, or rice instead of noodles. This is one of my DH's favorite meals.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 quarts water, cold
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup water
3 -4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic salt (optional)
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I like Cholula)
2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 2 T Water (optional)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 cups asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 cups noodles, cooked and drained

Steps:

  • Mix water, salt and sugar together with a whisk until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add shrimp and let it sit in the brine for at least 30 minutes. Longer doesn't hurt. Drain shrimp well and pat dry with a paper towel when ready to cook.
  • While shrimp is brining, combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch and water slurry in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat for 30 minutes. Cornstarch/water slurry can be whisked in if sauce isn't thick enough after heating.
  • Pour canola oil into a large, hot, non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add onion, red pepper and garlic. Stir-fry for 7 minutes, until veggies are softened. Add asparagus and continue stir-frying for about 5 more minutes. Pour veggies into a large bowl and set aside.
  • Re-heat skillet over medium high heat. Add additional canola oil if desired. Add drained shrimp and stir-fry until they are pink, about 5 - 7 minutes. Add reserved veggies and noodles and stir well. Pour peanut sauce over everything and combine.
