My version of Shrimp Phad Thai

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp tamarind sauce
• 3 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 3 tbsp sugar
• some butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz phad thai noodles
• 2 eggs
• salt, pepper, hot sauce
• 1 pound shrimp
• 2 garlic gloves
• some ginger
• jalapeno
• peanuts and cilantro to taste

Directions:

1. Combine Fish Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Sugar, Oil, and Tamarind sauce. Mix till sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

2. Soak the Noodles in hot water X20 mins( or till they're soft, but not mushy).Set aside. 

3. Beat Eggs with some salt and pepper. Set aside.  

4. In a wok, heat 1tbsp of butter. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp, tossing and turning till they turn a little pink, approximately 2-3 mins. Set aside.

5. Add some butter to a skillet ( or use the same wok), minced garlic, jalapeno, and ginger. Cook for a minute and beat in the egg mixture. Right away add the noodles, mix a bit and pour in the fish/tamarind/vinegar mixture.

6. Now it's up to you if you like your noodles well cooked, crispy or just smooth. If the phad thai is too watery, drain it and continue cooking on the wok.

7. Once complete, add peanuts or cilantro + hot sauce according to your own taste!
