Classic Thai noodle dish with shrimp, sauce, and peanuts
What’s your favorite Thai dish? I love Pad Thai and today I’ve got Shrimp Pad Thai. Succulent shrimp in a peanut sauce with noodles, fresh herbs, peanuts, and lime to top it off. I’ve always loved Thai takeout and this is by far one of my go tos. When I got diagnosed with celiac, I wanted to still be able to enjoy one of my favorite takeout dishes. There’s nothing more comforting than a big plate of noodles. Try this Pad Thai today for a fun take on the classic Asian takeout dish.
