THAI SHRIMP



Thai Shrimp image

Here's the Asian way of chopping ginger: Scrape off the skin with the edge of a small spoon. Then cut it into very thin slices across the grain. Lay the slices in a single layer on half of a sheet of plastic wrap; fold the other half over the ginger. Pound the ginger slices with the flat side of a meat mallet. They'll separate into natural fibers. Scrape them together and chop them into small pieces. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

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.

Time 10m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts, finely chopped
3 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp very dry and lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet, stir together the sugar, fish sauce and vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a simmer, add the shrimp and cook until pink on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Add the peanuts, scallions, lime juice and red-pepper flakes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the flavor of your dish will be. This is especially important for the shrimp, as frozen shrimp can be tough and rubbery.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to avoid overcooking it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and snow peas, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, carrots, and zucchini.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking: This recipe is mildly spicy, but you can adjust the amount of chili paste to make it more or less spicy. If you're not sure how much chili paste to use, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. Jasmine rice is a good option, as it has a light and fluffy texture that pairs well with the浓郁的酱汁. If you're using noodles, pad thai noodles or rice noodles are both good choices.

Conclusion:

This Thai shrimp dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or noodles, and you've got a complete and satisfying meal.
