THAI RED PEPPER SHRIMP



Thai Red Pepper Shrimp image

A Thai-inspired creation with sweet red bell peppers and garlic. It's very important not to skip the fish sauce in this recipe! I KNOW it smells weird at first, but trust me it becomes delicious once you cook it. This dish cannot be called Thai without it. It's like the Thai version of soy sauce, so you can adjust how much you add. Btw, sambal oelek is a very spicy red chili paste (should be easy to find--it usually has a gold label). You can leave it out if you don't like your food spicy.
