Ingredients:  
2 Garlic Cloves
2 Green Onions
½ oz. Roasted Peanuts

8 oz. Shrimp

Directions:
Directions:
Mince garlic. Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate. Coarsely chop peanuts. Stem and coarsely chop cilantro. Quarter lime. Pat shrimp dry.

Add noodles to boiling water and stir often until just tender, 4 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water. Drain noodles in a colander, running cold water over noodles to stop the cooking process. Return noodles to pot, toss with ½ tsp. olive oil, and set aside.

Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook undisturbed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

Return pan used to cook shrimp to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add garlic, white portions of green onions, and matchstick carrots to hot pan. Stir until aromatic, 45-60 seconds.

Add noodles, shrimp, sweet chili sauce, and chili oil (to taste) to pan. Stir until combined and heated through, 1 minute. If pad thai is too dry, add half the reserved pasta cooking water. Then add remaining pasta cooking water 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with peanuts, green portions of green onions, cliantro, and squeeze lime quarter over to taste. Bon appétit!
