Ingredients

1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces of rice noodles
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
2 cups of bean sprouts or other vegetables such as bok choy
4 green onions, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
4-6 cloves garlic, minced.
3 tablespoons of butter.
3 tablespoons of soy sauce. You can add more or less to taste.
3 tablespoons of olive oil.
2 tablespoons fish sauce.
2 tablespoons white vinegar.
3 tablespoons of brown sugar.
1 teaspoon chili flakes. You can add more or less to taste.
3 limes
A handful of Thai or regular basil for garnish.

Instructions

1. Cook the rice noodles according to the package directions. Drain water and place in a large bowl.

2. While the noodles are cooking begin to make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce, brown sugar, and chili flakes.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When heated toss in the shrimp and sear on both sides until pink. This takes approximately 2-3 minutes. Add the butter, garlic, and additional chili flakes. Continue to cook until the garlic begins to caramelize and turn a light golden brown, approximately another 1-2 minutes.

4. Add the sauce to the shrimp mixture until warm. This is approximately 1 minute.

5. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the shrimp to the drained noodles and mix well.

6. Return the skillet to heat and scramble the eggs. Once cooked add to the noodle mixture. Then add the bean sprouts and green onions, toss to combine.

7. Plate the noodle and shrimp mix. Top with peanuts. Add the basil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Additional chili flakes, green onions, salt, and pepper may be added if desired.
