Ingredients
- 8 oz pad thai noodles
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Amino or soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp fish sauce
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- ¼ Cup fresh lime juice plus wedges for serving
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 Large shallots sliced
- 3 Large garlic cloves minced
- 12 oz shelled and deveined medium shrimp
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp cilantro chopped
- ¼ Cup peanuts chopped
- Handful bean sprouts, for garnish
Instructions
- Place noodles in a large bowl of hot water to soak, about 5-8 minutes, until softened.
- Transfer the noodles to a colander and drain tossing to get rid of any excess water. While noodles soak, mix together coconut amino (or soy sauce), fish sauce, coconut sugar, and lime juice
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add shallots, garlic, and cook over high heat, stirring until lightly browned about 3 minutes.
- Add the pad thai noodles and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp and stir occasionally, until they begin to curl and turn pink about 2 minutes.
- Add scallions and cilantro and toss everything together. Pour in the fish sauce mixture and cook until the noodles are evenly coated, about 2- 3 minutes.
- Transfer pad thai to a large plate. Top with peanuts and garnish bean sprouts. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Nutritional facts:
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- You can use a wok or a large pan.
- To make life easier, opt for peeled and deveined shrimp.
- You can leave the tails on or take them off, it won't affect the flavor. Keeping the tails on makes the shrimp easier to handle.
- Make sure you have all your ingredients prepped before you fire up your pan, things move quickly!
- Don't overcook the noodles. After soaking them, the noodles will be pliable. After they stir fry, they should be tender and have al dente in texture.
- Do not overcook the shrimp! Shrimp can go from succulent to rubbery really quickly. The shrimp are done when they turn an opaque pink and form a 'C' shape.
- If you don't have any pad thai noodles, you can also make this with spaghetti or linguine, in a pinch.
- If you want more spice, add some chili flakes.
- I highly recommend topping with crushed peanuts, they really add an amazing extra dimension of texture.
