Pad Thai with shrimp and vegetables

A quick stir-fry built on the Archer Farms sauce, with shrimp and whatever vegetables will char fast in a hot pan. Rice noodles absorb the spiced sauce, and the whole thing comes together while water boils.

Serves 2. 25 minutes, 20 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 10 oz shrimp, peeled
  • 6 oz rice noodles

From your shelf

  • one 8-oz bottle Archer Farms pad thai stir-fry sauce

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook 6 oz rice noodles until just tender, about 4 minutes; drain.
  2. While noodles cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking, then add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 10 oz peeled shrimp and cook, stirring often, until pink and nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the entire bottle of Archer Farms pad thai sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer, tilting the pan to coat the shrimp, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the cooked drained noodles to the skillet and toss constantly until every strand is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes; the sauce will thicken slightly as it cooks. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

Note Swap shrimp for 6 oz sliced chicken thigh or add a cup of sliced bell pepper and snap peas to the pan with the garlic. Leftovers keep in a closed container in the fridge for two days and rewarm gently over low heat with a splash of water. Serve with lime wedges and crushed peanuts on the side.
