Shrimp Pad Thai
Photo: Levi Brown; Styling: Thom Driver
Smother homemade Pad Thai with spicy shrimp, bean sprouts, peanuts and green onion for an Asian dish you will prepare again and again.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
Step 2
While water comes to a boil, combine sugar and next 4 ingredients (through Sriracha) in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion pieces, shrimp, and garlic; stir-fry 2 minutes or until shrimp is almost done. Add cooked noodles; toss to combine. Stir in sauce; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly to combine. Arrange about 1 cup noodle mixture on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1/4 cup bean sprouts, 1 tablespoon peanuts, and 2 teaspoons basil.
It does have been sprouts in the recipe
Shrimp pad thai
Easy and wonderful!
absolutely delish and easy
This was delicious, I went heavy on the sriracha and lime juice. Be careful not to over cook your shrimp or noodles. Also be generous with the garnish of basil, bean sprouts and peanuts, they compliment the dish so much.It really was easy and fun to make. My teens enjoyed it as well.
Good, but spicy!
Definitely a tasty dish, and I would make again. I used the chili garlic sauce, so not sure if the Sriracha would have been better. I wished I'd thought to add egg and snow peas, but I'll give that a whirl next time.

There are better pad thai recipes out there, but this is very quick and easy. I doesn't have a lot of traditional pad thai ingredients such as egg and bean sprouts.

Super easy, delicious meal! I stir fried snow peas, julienne sliced carrots and red bell pepper to add as reviews had mentioned there weren’t enough veggies. Left out the bean sprouts as I don’t care for them. Just added added a few drops of Sriracha. Left it up to everyone to add more if they wanted it more spicy. Made 1 1/2 times the sauce and that was perfect. Make sure to finish with fresh lime! Super fresh and tasty.

Meh...not bad but not great either. Husband said it was like noodles with a little bit of flavor but not as good as other pad thai recipes I've made. Maybe if the sauce were doubled it would be better? I added tofu and Asian veggies instead of bean sprouts. It was all eaten but no one asked me to make it again (and I wouldn't).

I doubled the recipe but I probably shouldn't have doubled the chili garlic sauce. It's spicy! But, it's very good. If you don't like things spicy, I would take it easy on the chili sauce and add more if you want it. Otherwise the flavor is great and it came together easily. A couple things I changed: I used chicken thighs and added some shredded cabbage and lime as a garnish.
