Try this easy-to-make Pad Thai with Shrimp recipe with homemade pad thai sauce.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once water is boiling, remove from heat and add noodles. Soak noodles until soft, but still crunchy and not cooked through. Drain and rinse with cold water and set aside.
For the pad thai sauce, in a small mixing bowl, dissolve tamarind paste in hot water. Add brown sugar, fish sauce and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
To prepare the pad thai, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add shallots, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook 2-3 more minutes, until shrimp is pink and opaque.
Push ingredients in the pan to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add egg and scramble until cooked through. Combine cooked egg with shrimp mixture. Add cooked noodles and pad thai sauce. Toss together to incorporate sauce with noodles. Cook an additional 5 minutes.
Add bean sprouts and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, until noodles are chewy and beginning to get slightly crispy. Remove from heat. Add green onions, cilantro and peanuts. Toss once more. Serve with 1-2 wedges of lime. Squeeze lime over Pad Thai prior to eating, if preferred.
Enjoy!

Do you know where you find tamarind paste? I have something at my grocery store, but its kinda chunky and its a pain to work with. I’ve been trying to find tamarind puree, but no luck. Does your tamarind paste have chunks too, and if so, how do you work with this? I really would like to try your recipe!
