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!

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, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make the stir-fry soggy.
  • Cook the shrimp in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a high-quality stir-fry sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy Thai shrimp stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
