With tender noodles, succulent shrimp and a balanced sauce with sweet and umami flavors, this pad thai with shrimp is easy enough for any home cook to master. It takes 30 minutes and is made with easy-to-find ingredients, so you can make shrimp pad thai your new &#8220;takeout fake out&#8221; recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>What is pad thai?<\/h2>\n<p>Pad thai is a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/favorite-thai-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/favorite-thai-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thai recipe<\/a>. It consists of stir-fried noodles bathed in a sweet, sour and savory sauce. Often made with shrimp (or prawns), chicken or tofu, pad thai also contains\u00a0scrambled eggs and bean sprouts, and is typically garnished with crushed peanuts, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.<\/p>\n<p>The ingredients in the sauce are what give the dish its distinctive flavor, but they vary greatly from recipe to recipe. In classic pad thai recipes, a combination of fish sauce, dried shrimp, tamarind and palm sugar is used to give the recipe its iconic funky, fishy, sweet and sour flavor. Westernized versions, however, will often call for ingredients like lime juice, ketchup, brown sugar and soy sauce in an attempt to replicate the flavors of classic pad thai. Our recipe for pad thai with shrimp finds a great middle ground between the two.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Shrimp Pad Thai<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shrimp:<\/strong> For this recipe, use medium uncooked shrimp (look for a bag that has 41 to 50 shrimp per pound). You can pick a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of shrimp<\/a> that has been peeled and deveined for you, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clean the shrimp<\/a> yourself to save a few dollars. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely before preparing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice noodles:<\/strong>\u00a0Pad thai with shrimp begins with a bed of these long tendrils. Rice noodles cook quickly and have a mild taste perfect for soaking up the flavors in the delectable pad thai sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and garlic:<\/strong> These two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-are-aromatics-in-cooking\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-are-aromatics-in-cooking\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aromatics<\/a> add depth to the flavor of shrimp pad thai. Feel free to increase or decrease the amount of garlic to suit your taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> The soft, spongy texture of scrambled egg is perfect for soaking up sauce, and contrasts nicely with the crisp vegetables and tender shrimp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coleslaw mix:<\/strong> A bag of coleslaw mix is an easy shortcut ingredient for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/semi-homemade-recipes-for-when-youre-short-on-time\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/semi-homemade-recipes-for-when-youre-short-on-time\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">semi-homemade recipes<\/a>. In pad thai, cabbage replicates the taste and texture of bean sprouts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice vinegar:<\/strong> Our recipe calls for rice vinegar. It&#8217;s sweeter than other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/when-each-type-of-vinegar-works-best\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/when-each-type-of-vinegar-works-best\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of vinegar<\/a>\u00a0and offers a similar combination of sweetness and acidity to that you&#8217;d get from tamarind puree.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> In authentic shrimp pad thai, palm sugar is a popular choice. This version opts for granulated sugar to give the sauce added sweetness. You could also use brown sugar, coconut sugar or even honey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soy sauce:<\/strong> A splash of soy deepens the color of the sauce and lends some necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-umami-plus-why-you-should-definitely-have-it-on-your-plate\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-umami-plus-why-you-should-definitely-have-it-on-your-plate\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">umami<\/a> that balances the sweet and sour flavors in the dish. Choose low-sodium soy sauce if you are watching your salt intake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fish sauce:<\/strong> This is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/essential-thai-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/essential-thai-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">essential Thai ingredient<\/a> for pad thai because it gives the dish its characteristic fishy flavor. If you want to make a vegetarian pad thai, you can swap the fish sauce for additional soy sauce\u2014but the flavor will not be quite the same.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili garlic sauce:<\/strong> This condiment gives the shrimp pad thai some spice and heat. For a mild pad thai, you can omit it. You can also use Sriracha, sambal oelek or gochujang if you have them on hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garnishes:<\/strong> A shower of chopped peanuts, a sprinkle of cilantro and green onions, a squeeze of fresh lime juice: These are just a few great ways you can finish a heaping plate of fresh-from-the-wok shrimp pad thai.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the noodles<\/h3>\n<p>Cook the rice noodles according to package directions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip<\/em>: Unlike wheat pasta, many commercial rice noodles do not need to be boiled.

To save time on chopping and measuring, do some of the prep work in advance. Try mixing up the sauce ingredients the night before in a small, separate container. You can also chop and mince the onions, garlic, cilantro and peanuts ahead of time and store them in separate containers until you&#8217;re ready to cook.

Return the shrimp to the pan and cook until heated through. Editor's Tip: Ideally, the coleslaw mix and green onions should still be slightly crisp. Their slight crunch offers a nice contrast of texture to the soft egg, tender noodles and juicy shrimp.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Shrimp-Pad-Thai-FT24_45967_EC_042424_3.jpg?fit=700,1024"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Combine and serve","text":"Drain the noodles and toss them with the shrimp mixture until they're evenly coated in the sauce.

However, I did mess up the noodles. I am not familiar with working rice noodles and I could not find the thick rice noodles.

Still, when I added them to the wok, they looked okay.<\/p><p>Wrong!<\/p><p>Somewhere along the way they turned into Gorilla glue, which made for a very \"lumpy\", but tasty, dish.
