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
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook 6 oz rice noodles until just tender, about 4 minutes; drain.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
