Makes 2 large bowls or 4 smaller bowls

Ingredients:

-          1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

-          1 tsp sesame oil

-          1 pound extra-large raw shrimp, thawed, peeled and devined

-          3 cloves garlic, minced

-          1 tbsp ginger, minced or grated

-          1 yellow bell pepper, diced

-          1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk (can use light coconut milk too)

-          2 cups seafood stock (can use chicken or vegetable stock instead)

-          7 oz (half a box) pad Thai noodles

-          1 tsp fish sauce

-          2 tsp Sriracha sauce

-          1 cup cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)

-          2 scallions, diced

-          1 lime

Directions:

-          Heat the oils in a large straight-sided pan over medium-high heat.  Add the shrimp.  Season with salt and pepper and seasonings of your choice.   Sear on both sides until shrimp is pink/golden, about 5 minutes total.  Remove from pan and set aside.

-          Back in the pan, add more oil if needed and toss in the garlic, ginger and bell pepper.  (Note: you can add other vegetables if you’d like)  Sautee for 1 minutes, then add the coconut milk, stock, noodles, fish sauce, Sriracha sauce, cilantro and scallions.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until noodles cook through, about 5 minutes.

-          Take pan off heat and squeeze lime juice onto noodles.  Stir shrimp back in, toss and serve.  Top with fresh cilantro for garnish.
