This Easy Shrimp Pad Thai is so simple to make, you’ll never want to order take-out again! It’s also easier on the wallet, considering each serving in a restaurant of Shrimp Pad Thai is between $7-$10 per serving. Yikes! Plus these Pad Thai noodles are Gluten Free! Can I get a Woo-Hoo!

Shrimp Pad Thai

So I found a new Thai restaurant near me that has really good Pad Thai. I’ve been going there like once a week for lunch, which has been adding up in cost. I figured it was time I learn how to make Pad Thai so I can save some Moolah!

I guess I’ve always been a little intimidated making Pad Thai. I always thought it would be super complicated. Let’s just say Asian dishes are my weakness when it comes to cooking. I love eating Asian food, but I’m not used to all of the different sauces and noodles, so frankly it scares me a little! Ok it’s time for me to get over this fear and start learning how to cook more Asian dishes, because I love the food there!

So here’s a little step by step photo shoot of how to make this super yummy Shrimp Pad Thai.

This does require a little bit of prep work. But once the prep work is done, this dish cooks really fast.

Start by getting everything chopped and ready to go. Then I get the sauce ready and just let it sit in a saucepan on low heat until I’m ready to use it.

To cook the Pad Thai noodles, it’s a little different from cooking regular noodles. Once you bring the water to a boil, add the noodles, then remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

Cooking the shrimp

While the noodles are cooking, start cooking the shrimp with the garlic and shallots. Remove shrimp from pan once cooked through. You’ll know the shrimp is done when it’s a nice bright pink color.

Next add the eggs until scrambled.

Then add noodles shrimp and sauce to wok and cook 1-2 minutes longer.

Pouring in the sauce

Add some green onions and cilantro, a little lime juice, and done!

See…Easy!

Here’s what I love about this Shrimp Pad Thai.

-It’s super easy to make, especially on a busy night when you need to get dinner on the table fast.

-I tweaked the sauce a bit so it has much more flavor to it then what they serve in the restaurant. I always thought the restaurant style sauce was a little bland. So I kicked this sauce up a notch, I think you’ll agree!

-It’s low in fat, which makes for a healthy meal.

-You save $$ by not eating out so much!
