Thai Style Sweet And Salty Shrimp Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir fry until pink but still translucent in the middle, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the Thai Style Sweet & Spicy Chili Cooking Sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce glazes the shrimp, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, season with salt, add the lime juice and sprinkle with the herbs. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch; set aside.
• Place a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the oil, garlic and jalapenos; sauté for 2 minutes, add the shrimp, red pepper flakes and continue to cook until shrimp turn white; 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Add the basil and mint; stir in the lime juice mixture and cook an additional 2 minutes; or until shrimp are pink and thoroughly cooked serve over a bed of jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, ginger, jalapeno, salt and turmeric in the container of a food processor or blender. Process to a smooth paste. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until translucent, stirring frequently. Mix in the spice paste, and cook for a few minutes to release the oils.
• Add shrimp, and cook for a few minutes until pink, then add the tomatoes and coconut milk. Cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove the lid and simmer an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce. Stir in the fresh basil during the last minute of cooking.

Steps:

• Combine the sauce ingredients and whisk until well incorporated; set aside.
• Prepare the vegetables. The thick outer layers of the lemongrass should be peeled away and only the tender, bottom 1/3 of the stalk should be used. Slice the lemongrass, shallots, red onion and chili peppers very finely.
• Peel and devein the shrimp. Brush a bit of oil on both sides of the shrimp and grill until they're cooked through. This takes only a few minutes per side.
• Toss together vegetables in a bowl and pour over dressing, more or less to taste. Then add the grilled shrimp to the bowl while they are still hot and toss everything together. Serve immediately!

Steps:

• Prepare the noodles: Place dried noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let soak for 20 to 30 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients, allowing the water to cool, and stirring and separating the noodles occasionally with your hands. When ready, noodles will be white, limp and almost soft to the bite. (They will cook a little more later on.) Pour off all the water, fluff noodles with your hands, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the fish sauce, tamarind and coconut palm sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often, just until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Line up the ingredients in the order they'll be cooked: Place the garlic, shallot, radish and shrimp in a bowl, then line up the tofu, noodles, sauce, eggs, bean sprouts and chives. When ready to cook, place 1 cup of hot tap water near the stove.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a 14-inch wok, a heavy 12-inch skillet or a large Dutch oven medium-high heat until shimmering. (If using a smaller pan, cook in 2 batches.) Add the contents of the garlic bowl and stir-fry over medium heat, adjusting the flame so the ingredients are sizzling but not popping or scorching, until the shrimp are nearly pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tofu and stir-fry to heat through, about 2 minutes.
• Add noodles and raise the heat as high as it goes, tossing and separating them with a wok turner, tongs or both. When noodles are sizzling, add about half the sauce and 1 tablespoon water, and stir-fry, tossing to coat and cook through.
• Taste a noodle for doneness and seasoning. If needed, add more sauce and water, and keep cooking, turning often, until noodles are softened and savory.
• Push noodles to one side of the pan, add enough oil to lightly coat the other side, and add the eggs. Use the spatula to scramble the eggs, stirring and scraping until cooked through and just dry, 1 to 2 minutes, then stir them into the noodles.
• Add the bean sprouts and chives, and stir to combine. Serve immediately, passing the peanuts, chile powder and lime wedges to adjust seasoning to taste.
