Chicken Pad Thai with Shrimp
Description
Chicken Pad Thai with Shrimp uses soaked wide rice noodles as its base, softened before cooking to the right tenderness. The sauce blends ketchup, sugar, fish sauce, and crushed red pepper to balance sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy flavors characteristic of Pad Thai.
The protein elements—shrimp and chicken—are cooked separately in coconut oil until done, preserving their flavor and texture. Eggs are lightly scrambled and combined with bean sprouts, green onions, and garlic for freshness and crunch. The noodles, sauce, and proteins are then combined and cooked briefly to meld flavors and heat the dish through.
Chopped dry-roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro add texture and herbal brightness, while lime wedges provide an acidic contrast. This preparation offers a combination of tender noodles, savory seafood and poultry, and crisp garnishes.
