Pad Thai Shrimp on Zoodles


Pad Thai Shrimp on Zoodles
I selected shrimp for this dish, however you can replace it with any protein you choose. That's why I cook the protein first so the rest of the ingredients don't come in contact with raw meat. Hope you all enjoy, I know we did!


Ingredients: Pad Thai Shrimp on Zoodles
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1pound peeled and de-veined jumbo shrimp
  • 3 cloves garlic minced or crushed
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 5 green onions long slices of the green end
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cups bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup crushed roasted peanuts
  • chopped cilantro for garnish
  • lime wedges
Ingredients for the sauce:
  • 4 Tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 6 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce



Directions:
  1. In a mixing bowl stir all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Cut the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer tool.
  3. Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic about 30 seconds, add shrimp and cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the bell peppers and green onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the egg and stir with the veggies until egg is cooked.
  5. Add the zucchini noodles, bean sprouts, and sauce mixture to the pan. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes or until zoodles are soft but not soggy. It doesn't take very long and you need to keep taking samples to taste during this phase.
  6. Serve immediately on a plate garnished with cilantro, lime wedges, and topped with crushed roasted peanuts ( I used the bottom of  coffee mug on a small plate to crush).

OUR BETTER THAN FAST FOOD ONION RINGS

Onion Rings 4 Large White Onions 6 Cups Unbleached Flour 3 Tablespoons Salt 3 teaspoons of Garlic Powder 1 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper 2 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika 4 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup Milk Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying These are the BEST homemade onion rings. Not much batter, light, crispy and delicious. It seems like it would be overwhelming, but actually it is well worth the time. Start out with 4 large white onions. We have found these work the best.  They have a really great flavor. Next, slice them up. If you do them a little on the thin side, they cook up really nicely and are a perfect consistency. When you slice them, only keep the bigger rings. The middle pieces are not as good for the rings. I usually only keep the first 4 to 5 outer rings and toss the rest. Next, add the seasonings to the flour. I have 3 bowls that I set up for flour and wet ingredients. The first bowl will have ...

Butter Biscuits

Delicious Butter Biscuits Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter (1 stick); room temperature  4 tsp sugar 2 tsp salt 3 cups of flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 cups milk Instructions Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add flour and butter into the mixer and mix until butter is pea size. Add the sugar, salt, baking powder and mix until combined.  Last, add milk to the flour mixture and mix until combined. If the dough is a little sticky, add an extra Tbsp of flour to the dough. Next, generously flour the surface you will be rolling dough out on. Roll out the dough until it is around a half inch thick and fold the dough over itself in half and roll out again. Repeat until you have folded the dough back onto itself at least 6 times.  Even if it seems thin, it will rise. After it has been rolled out multiple times, use a biscuit cutter or a cup about the size you want your biscuits to be. (I actually use a kids IKEA ...

Party Chili Cheese Dip

In our experience, if you bring this Chili Cheese Dip to a party, you will NEVER bring any leftovers home! CHILI CHEESE DIP INGREDIENTS 2 pkg cream cheese, softened 1 family size can of Stagg Chili (or whatever chili you prefer) 1 Large bag of shredded cheddar cheese Green Onion  Sliced Olives  Preheat oven to 350. In baking sheet (we use a 9x13) smear cream cheese evenly over the bottom of the pan.   Top with the chili (stir chili inside can to begin with so you don't have excess liquid and it is all incorporated) spread chili evenly over the cream cheese.  Top that with enough shredded cheeses to completely cover the chili. On top of cheese add green onion and olives to taste. Bake in 350 degrees oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is completely melted. Serve warm with Frito Scoops.
