Shrimp Pad Thai

DH accidentally got low fat peanut butter at the store.  It was still good.  But I can see how the full-fat peanut butter would make it even better.  A really great way to make an easy version of pad thai.  I serve it with a thai-inspired slice cucumber salad.  Will definitely add this to our regular rotation.

Made last night with chicken instead of shrimp and used a bit more teriyaki sauce. I also added shredded carrots, and frozen pearl onions. Was a HUGE hit at my house, even with an extremely picky 15 year old who asked for seconds! The cilantro was important and added lots of flavor. Definitely a keeper in my house.

Simple and delicious. I can throw this together in a hurry. Even my picky daughter loved it.

I've made this a few times. I left out the cilantro and garlic. It's good, but there's another CL pad thai recipe that I prefer.

This turned out too thick and peanut buttery for my taste. Maybe less PB and more teriyaki next time.

This was a really fast and flavorful recipe. I added carrots and ommitted the cilantro because I didn't have any. My kids and husband ate it...nearly amazing.

I had to work late so my husband offered to prepare dinner - it was so easy - he did a great job - it was really delicious

Fast and easy ... definitely a keeper.

I did not have sugar snap peas so I added 1 cup fresh spinach to replace them. Added them at the time I would of added the peas. I used more pasta and crunchy peanut butter. This dish was YUMMY, did not taste like Pad Thai. I will make this many times.

I agree with the other reviewers... this is pretty tasty, but NOT Pad Thai. I added asparagus, sliced bamboo, and baby corn and cut back on the shrimp and noodles to make it a little healthier. My sauce was really thick even before I heated it up, so I added some fish sauce and rice vinegar - it needed some extra flavor anyways. Don't skip the cilantro and lime at the end, they really make the dish. I might make it again, but will probably try another pad thai recipe instead.

Needs to be renamed. It's a good dish but it does not taste anything like Pad Thai. It does have a slight resemblence in taste to Pad Kee Mow. When I showed the recipe to a friend of mine who was raised in Thailand she laughed at it.

The hubby and I liked this recipe but it is missing the brightness in flavor of traditional pad thai. I used organic crunchy peanut butter and vietnamese garlic chili pepper sauce to save a few steps. I also added crystalized ginger for a little sweetness to the dish. We topped it with a mixture of cilantro and green onions for lightness and color. Overall a good basic - will use premix of stir fry next time to save a few steps and add more veggies. Nice for a quick flavorful midweek meal
