THAI RED PEPPER SHRIMP
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.

THAI-STYLE SWEET AND SALTY SHRIMP
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.
