When my husband and I vacationed in Thailand, one of the activities we were most excited about was our time at a traditional Thai cooking school. We had anticipated it for months and it certainly did not disappoint! We toured a traditional market, learned about the meat and ingredients used in dishes, and then toured a huge farm. There we were introduced to many of the vegetables and spices used in most Thai households. I loved that part the most because the recipes didn’t intimidate me anymore. I was seeing exactly where things were sourced, what we needed, and how to make it happen in my own kitchen. One of the more popular recipes we learned to make was this authentic 30-Minute Shrimp Pad Thai recipe. It is so tasty and equally simple to make!

30-Minute Authentic Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe

Here in the states, Pad Thai is a popular dish at many restaurants. It is often recommended for people who are trying Thai food for the first time. I love this fried noodle dish because it can be made with any sort of protein (including tofu) or with the protein omitted entirely, making it perfect for vegetarian appetites.

Today I’m going to share one of my favorite ways to enjoy this meal – with fresh jumbo shrimp! I like to buy the jumbo shrimp, so I use fewer in the recipe, but if you’re working with smaller shrimp, feel free to add more than the 10-12 I recommend in the recipe card.

  4. Turn the heat up to medium again.
  5. When the noodles are soft, turn the heat back down to low.

Notes

Home Chef Tip: When pre-softening the rice noodles, undercook them a bit so when they are added to this dish, they don't become mushy.

One of my biggest fears upon returning home from Thailand was that I would be unable to locate the ingredients we used during our cooking school adventure. I was so wrong! In fact, every ingredient can be found at your normal grocery store in the international aisle. If you have an international grocer, you may also be able to find tamarind juice, which could replace the vinegar and water combination in this Shrimp Pad Thai recipe.
