You can find the specialty ingredients at most any grocery store with an international section. The rice noodles I use in this recipe is for Pad Thai dishes. The garlic chili paste is a staple of many Asian dishes. Watch out, the garlic chili paste is hot, so do not over do it. The recipe is Thai inspired not authentic but it will please the Thai food lover anytime. The use of natural peanut butter will give the dish the peanut flavor while the combination of the fish sauce and garlic chili paste will give the dish that signature Thai flavor I crave. Thai foods get their wonderful flavor from garlic, chili, onions and limes. First, get a pan of water boiling for the rice noodles. When the water is at full boil drop in enough rice noodles for two servings and boil for four minutes. Remove noodles, strain in a colander and set aside. Chop the green onions, roasted red bell pepper and cilantro for garnishes and set aside individually. Cut a lime into four wedges. Grind up three tablespoons of roasted peanuts for garnish and set aside. Mix two tablespoons of natural peanut butter, two tablespoons of fish sauce, half teaspoon of sesame oil and two tablespoons of Thai garlic chili paste for noodle sauce. The sesame oil is optional. I suggest you add it since the sesame oil will add a rich flavor. Do not add too much sesame oil as it will not be pleasant. Coat the shrimp with the Chinese five spice. Heat a skillet to medium with a small amount cooking oil ( olive oil is best ) and cook shrimp. Cook shrimp for two minutes per side and turn. Cook the shrimp just until it is opaque and starts to firm up then it is done. Do not overcook the shrimp because they will turn rubbery when overcooked. Add the cooked noodles and the sauce to the cooked shrimp and toss just until evenly coated. Plate the noodles and shrimp, garnish with green onions, peanuts, roasted red bell pepper, lime wedges and cilantro. This recipe serves two. Ingredients: 12 Jumbo Shrimp peeled and deveined.
