Thai Red Pepper Shrimp image

A Thai-inspired creation with sweet red bell peppers and garlic. It's very important not to skip the fish sauce in this recipe! I KNOW it smells weird at first, but trust me it becomes delicious once you cook it. This dish cannot be called Thai without it. It's like the Thai version of soy sauce, so you can adjust how much you add. Btw, sambal oelek is a very spicy red chili paste (should be easy to find--it usually has a gold label). You can leave it out if you don't like your food spicy.

Time 16m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 red bell pepper, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (optional)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Prepare all your ingredients and have them ready to go in seperate bowls. Mix the corn starch into the chicken stock. Heat your wok on high.
  • Add the oil to the wok and stir fry the bell peppers for 1 minute.
  • Add the garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp and stir fry until they curl and turn pink, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the fish sauce and sambal, stir fry for about 10 seconds.
  • Finally, add the chicken stock/cornstarch mixture (mix it up again just before you add it because the cornstarch can settle), and mix thoroughly. Boil the sauce for about a minute or two just until it thickens up.
  • Serve over brown rice.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so good that I could have eaten it with just about anything.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out perfectly. The sauce was also very good, but I added a little bit of extra lemongrass to give it a more authentic Thai flavor.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy food.
