Instructions:
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves soaking them in hot water for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced red onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced red hot chili peppers. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the coarsely chopped peanuts and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimps to the pan. Cook until the shrimps turn pink and are cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Push the shrimp and vegetables to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble them until fully cooked. Once done, mix everything together.
- In a small bowl, combine the chicken gravy, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan and pour the sauce over them. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the shrimp and peanut noodles on a bed of chopped lettuce for an extra crunch and freshness.
Tips:
- For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before slicing.
- Use fresh shrimp for a more succulent and flavorful outcome.
- Soak the rice noodles in hot water for optimal texture.
- Garnish with extra coriander leaves and chopped peanuts for added flavor and presentation.
- Adjust the levels of fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice to suit your personal taste preferences.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken gravy.
