Spicy Coconut Shrimp Noodles

Ingredients

















Method


  • 1Cook rice noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.


  • 2Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and sliced red chilies; stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.


  • 3Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.


  • 4Pour coconut milk into the skillet. Add fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.


  • 5Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet along with the sliced red and green bell peppers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are fully cooked and peppers are tender-crisp.


  • 6Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss everything gently to coat the noodles and ingredients in the sauce.


  • 7Stir in chopped fresh cilantro and basil. Toss once more to combine.


  • 8Serve immediately, garnished with chopped roasted peanuts.

Notes


  • For extra heat, leave some seeds in the red chilies or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

  • Vegetarian option: Substitute shrimp with firm tofu or your favorite stir-fry vegetables.

  • Ensure noodles are not overcooked; they should still have a slight bite.
