Scrummy Supper

Hello again! I've been wanting to tell ya'll about a recipe a tried from Pinterest. It's called Shrimp Pad Thai and it was definitely a hit! Go Pinterst Go! I just love looking on there for recipes (and lots of other things too) lol. Can't wait for spring to come so I can try some of my many ideas!! By the way, I was going to try and make at least one quilt but that hasn't happened! At least I try my recipes, right?! So now... For the wonderful -

 Shrimp Pad Thai
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoon fish sauce (don't smell it, just dump it in!)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup (weird, right?)
2 teaspoons worchestershire
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you like just a little spice)
1/3 lb. home-style wide noodles (can use uncooked if you prefer, and just cook a little longer)
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/4 lb. brussel sprouts, sliced thin
1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 lime for serving

Stir together the first eight ingredients. Set aside. Cook noodles. You might want them a tiny bit under cooked. Next stir fry bell pepper in a bit of oil until softened. Now stir in shrimp and sliced brussel sprouts and cook until the sprouts and bright green, 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Add noodles and pour on sauce, cook an additional 5-6 minutes until the sauce has somewhat evaporated/cooked into the other ingredients. In the last minute of cooking, stir in the peanuts and cilantro. Or just top the cilantro, however you like! And actually, I like the peanuts a little softer so think I’d add them in earlier next time!



So enjoy if you make it! And if you don't make it, I'll just feel sorry for you and enjoy it myself with my dear man who ate half of it himself! Love that man!!!
