Рецепт Shrimp Pad Thai
This may not be an "authentic" Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe, but its good enough for us at home :-)
I didn't want this week to go by on me without getting a post in for Presto Pasta Nights. I missed out last week with so much going on. I did a quick look at Cooking Light's website for some quick shrimp meals I could fix. Naturally, I gravitate towards an Asian style with noodles of some kind. I'd never made Pad Thai and when I saw the recipe I knew I would be trying it out tonight!

Hope to see you there!
This recipe didn't call for anything that gave the dish any more color than green and I felt it needed something to contrast with that, so I added some red peppers to the mix. I also didn't have any teriyaki sauce so I made my own! Normally the recipe calls for creamy peanut butter but I had nothing but crunchy so that's what I went with. All in all it turned out pretty good and leftovers are in the fridge waiting for me to take to work for my lunch tomorrow!
