Thai Shrimp And Sugar Snap Peas Recipes

THAI SHRIMP AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Bring lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat until sauce is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, jalapeno peppers, and peppercorns; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining olive oil, onions, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper; cook and stir until peppers are tender, about 8 minutes. Add shrimp, cilantro, and mint; cook and stir until shrimp is bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place shrimp mixture on a serving platter with rice and bean sprouts; pour sauce on top.

5-MINUTE ASIAN SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Toss hot, cooked sugar snap peas with soy sauce and sesame oil. (If using steam-in-bag peas, be sure to drain off any water that may be in the cooking bag, so it doesn't dilute your sauce mixture).
• Add Pepper Relish (or jelly / chili garlic paste substitution) to taste. We find that 2 teaspoons is a good starting amount but we often add more - you may want more or less depending on how spicy your batch of Pepper Relish turned out, and on how spicy you like your food.
• Once you're done adding Pepper Relish (tasting and possibly adding a bit more), and adjusting the other flavors, add a pinch of salt, only if needed.
• Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. They don't add much flavor, but they look really pretty.
• When serving, be sure to scoop all the way to the bottom of the serving bowl to get some of the flavorful sauce along with each serving of peas.

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup broth and cornstarch; stir well to blend. Add remaining 3/4 cup broth and soy sauce.
• Pour broth mixture into skillet, scraping up any browned bits with a spoon; stir in red pepper flakes and sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens and shrimp are completely cooked, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice.
• Serving size: 1 cup shrimp-vegetable mixture and 1/2 cup rice

THAI SHRIMP AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS

EASY THAI COCONUT SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Prep shrimp as needed. Should be peeled, cleaned, and thawed if frozen. I used extra-large shrimp but medium and large work great too.
• Dice onion, cut bell pepper into thin strips and chop, and mince or slice your jalapeno. For a spicier curry, include the jalapeño seeds and use two jalapeños. For a more mild curry remove the seeds and only use one jalapeno or skip entirely.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Add onion, jalapeno, and bell pepper and cook until softened, approx 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
• Over medium heat, add the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk together and bring to a gentle boil. In a small bowl, add 1.5 TBSP cornstarch to 1.5 TBSP cold water and whisk to dissolve. Add to sauce and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally. Approx 5 minutes.
• Pat shrimp dry and add to the sauce along with your cooked veggies. For more al dente vegetables, you can add them at the end if you prefer. Allow curry to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and opaque.
• At this point you can taste-test the curry and decide if you'd like more heat (cayenne or red pepper flakes may be added to amp up the spiciness) or extra of any of the ingredients. Sometimes I'll stir in extra red curry paste or add a teeny pinch of salt, to taste.
• Top with Thai basil. Serve with jasmine rice or basmati rice or see blog post for more tasty serving suggestions!

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH CREAMY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, garlic powder and ginger in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Combine coconut and salt in a third shallow dish.
• Butterfly each shrimp by cutting halfway through the back and stopping at the tail, so that the tail stands up. Coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg and let any excess drip off. Then coat with the coconut, leaving the tail uncoated. Place the shrimp, with the tail standing up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the coconut starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
