Shrimp Pad Thai

This Pad Thai gets an extra kick of flavor with tamarind paste, a paste made from the pulp of the tamarind pod. It adds that distinctive tang found in Pad Thai with much more complexity than vinegar or citrus. This is a quick dish that comes together with some simple chopping and stirring so you can whip it up on a week night!

Heat oil in a pan over high heat and stir-fry shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add in shrimp and cook until shrimp is almost opaque.

step 4

Push all the ingredients to one side and pour in beaten eggs to quickly scramble.

Add bean sprouts, scallions, and rice noodles. Pour in the sauce and cook for a few more minutes until noodles are soft, mixing constantly to incorporate the sauce.
