Pad Thai

This dish is the reason I'm done ordering take-out Pad Thai.  It's quick, easy and it tasty as hell.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons lime juice
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 squirt Sriracha 
4 ounces Pad Thai noodles, soaked per package directions
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg , beaten
4-8 shrimp (depending on how hungry you are)
Peanuts
Cilantro

Directions: 
1. Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter and Sriracha together. Set aside.
2. In a skillet, cook garlic in oil over medium heat for about a minute. Then add egg and scramble until almost fully cooked. Remove eggs and set aside.
3. Add shrimp to skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Then add about 4 tablespoons of sauce from #1. Cook until sauce caramelizes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
4. Put previously soaked noodles, green onions, and remainder of sauce in skillet. Cook over medium heat tossing constantly until noodles reach desired consistency, approximately 4-6 minutes.
5. Add egg and shrimp to the noodles, toss.
6. Remove from skillet and top with peanuts and cilantro.

Note: you can easily substitute chicken or beef for shrimp, leave peanuts out, add bean sprouts or carrots..... this dish is very adaptable. Make it your own!
