Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound fusilli
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 limes
1/3 cup Thai fish sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 ounces small (41/50-count) shelled and deveined shrimp
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
4 cups (10 ounces) bean sprouts
6 scallions, green parts only, cut into 2-inch lengths, plus thinly sliced for garnish
1 1/2 cups coarsely shredded carrots
1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts, chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt and cook the pasta according to the package's directions for al dente. Drain, shaking occasionally to prevent sticking, until cooled to room temperature. 2. Meanwhile, zest the limes into a large bowl and squeeze in 1/3 cup juice. Whisk in the fish sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each salt and pepper. 3. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet along with half the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the shrimp is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the dressing. 4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the same skillet along with the remaining garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and scallion greens and cook, stirring, until barely wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl with the dressing. 5. Add the carrots, pasta, and peanuts to the bowl. Toss until everything is well-coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with the scallions and remaining peanuts. Serve warm, at room temperature, or refrigerate and serve cold.

This was a great recipe! The sauce was so creamy and flavorful. I loved the combination of the sweet and savory flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile. I've made it with chicken, tofu, and shrimp, and it's always delicious. I also love that I can add whatever vegetables I have on hand.

This was so easy to make and it turned out delicious! I used a store-bought peanut sauce, and it was still really good. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a disappointment. The sauce was too sweet and the noodles were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of Thai food, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The sauce was a little too spicy for me, but I think I could adjust that next time. Overall, it's a solid recipe.

This was a hit at my party! I made a double batch, and it was all gone in no time. Everyone loved the unique flavor of the sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this was just okay. The flavors were a bit too bland for me, and the noodles were a little overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was the easiest Thai dish I've ever made! I used a spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles, and the whole thing came together in about 30 minutes. The peanut sauce was amazing. Definitely going to make this again and again.
