Best Spicy Coconut Shrimp Rice Noodle Salad Recipes

SPICY THAI COCONUT SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet or Wok on med-hi heat.
• Add onions and stir, cook for 3 minutes.
• Add garlic and ginger, cook 2 minutes.
• Add next 5 spices, cook 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes, cook 1 minute.
• Add coconut milk, water, and salt, and bring to a simmer until thickened 5-10 minutes.
• Add shrimp, simmer, stirring for 3-5 minutes.
• Stir in cilantro, lemon juice and zest.
• Serve over rice noodles with lime wedges.
• Rice Noodle Cooking Directions:.
• Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible as you remove them from the package (always a challenge for us). Bring a good amount of water to boil. Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
• Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up. When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. The thread-like vermicelli noodles used in spring rolls will cook through in just a few minutes. The flat rice noodles might take upwards of ten minutes depending on thickness. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
• Once the noodles are tender, drain them and run them under cool water to stop the cooking. Toss them with a bit of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking to each other if you're not going to use them right away.
• Since these noodles will be used in the above dish, you definitely want to under-cook them a bit. They will absorb more moisture and cook the rest of the way through once in the stir fry. If your noodles are perfectly cooked to start, they will turn to mush in the stir fry.
• Note: This whole recipe can be cut in half including the rice noodles.

KANOM JEEN NAM-PRIK (RICE NOODLES WITH SPICY SHRIMP AND COCONUT)

Steps:

• In a 450-degree oven or over an open flame from the stovetop, grill or broiler, roast the shallots, garlic and galangal until blackened. Peel and discard the skins, finely chop, then pound in a mortar or purée in a food processor to make a paste. Stir in the salt and set aside.
• Skim off 1/2 cup of the creamy part of the can of coconut milk and set aside; pour the rest in a medium pot. Add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then add the mung beans, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a wok over low heat, then add the shredded coconut. Stir continuously until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the coconut to a plate to cool. Clean the wok, return to the heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the reserved paste and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the reserved coconut cream and cook, stirring, until a layer of oil appears, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, beginning with 2 teaspoons and adding more to taste. Stir well for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat.
• Place the shrimp in the simmering coconut milk and poach until just pink, about 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and roughly grind two-thirds of the shrimp in a food processor. Combine the whole and puréed shrimp in a small bowl and set aside.
• Add the chili-paste mixture to the pot of coconut milk. Add the peanuts and two-thirds of the toasted coconut, crumbling it as you add it to the pot. Add the shrimp, palm sugar and fish sauce. Remove from heat and add lime juice to taste. Adjust the sugar, fish sauce and lime juice as needed; the dish should be sweet, sour and salty, with a kick of heat from the chili. Before serving, stir in the remaining toasted coconut. Serve over cooked noodles or rice and garnish with green mango, sliced green beans and fried shallots, garlic and chilies.
