Thai It! You'll Like It! image

This flavorful pasta dish pairs shrimp or chicken with noodles and a peanutty sauce. I don't know how authentic it is, but I do know it's creamy and delicious! And as an added bonus, it's low-fat. This recipe is from Looneyspoons by Janet and Greta Podleski.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces uncooked fettuccine or 12 ounces linguine (can also use rice noodles, spaghetti, or any other noodle of your choice)
2 cups sliced red bell peppers (sliced in thin, long strips)
1 cup snow peas, trimmed and halved
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup low-sodium low-fat chicken broth
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter (or soy nut butter)
1 1/2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I omit this)
1 lb cooked shrimp (or chopped cooked chicken breast)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm.
  • While pasta is cooking, prepare sauce.
  • In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except shrimp; mix well.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender and sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  • Stir in shrimp (or chicken) and cook just until heated through, 1-2 minutes; do not overcook or shrimp will be rubbery.
  • Toss hot shrimp sauce with pasta and serve immediately.
