Had the urge to try a little something with shrimp today and settled in on this. Had a chance of storms today so didn't want to get into smoking today and figured I could do this on the griddle.
First I knocked off some broccoli and shitake mushrooms. No recipe on these really. Just cooked on the griddle in avocado oil. Added low sodium soy and dark sesame oil. Steamed some under a cover lid. Here is a shot of it on the griddle and then finished.
Next up fried Thai noodles. I use an amazing noodle substitute to keep these keto. Konjac and oat fiber based noodles are amazing. When first out of the package they have a very strong ammonia smell. Rinse very well in cold water. Soak for about 20 minutes in cold water and then boil for 5 minutes and you have a nice flavor neutral noodle that is literally perfect for many noodle and pasta applications. I used the Better than Noodle brand this week. A full package is 0 net carbs and only 30 calories.
Other ingredients for the noodles, When frying them on the griddle I used some sesame oil in which I first cooked a few stalks of lemon grass minced and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Stirred into the noodles. Squeezed on lime on them along with two tbsp of fish sauce , 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp ground coriander and two tbsp brown swerve. At the end I adjusted some for taste.
Thai Red Curry
Grilling up the shrimp , peppers and green onions. Hit the shrimp with some salt and pepper.
Adding the rest of the ingredients except for the basil to a pot on the griddle. Bring to a boil and then simmer until thickened.
Once thickened stir in the torn basil and you are finished.
Here it is plated up.
Overall pretty tasty. It ended up being too spicy for my wife. Next time I would add the shrimp towards the end of thickening the sauce as well. Boiling them too long made them a bit chewy. The noodles were money!! This dish will be a keeper but will get a few tweaks next time. As always thanks for looking!!
