Spicy Thai Mango Noodles with Shrimp

Lately I’ve been craving Asian food, or at least Asian-inspired dishes. I think it happens when my body is really lacking in certain nutrients and it craves a ton of the same vitamins and minerals that you can get from loading up a dish with veggies that contain Vitamin C and iodine-rich seafood. Whatever it is, I made just the dish that satisfied that craving and leaves me wanting to make this again, very soon. 

To start- and to make life a lot more convenient without sacrificing quality, nutrition or taste- I used the Saffron Road Thai Mango Simmer Sauce. It has a medium heat level, which is great because not everyone likes things spicy right out of the box. I love the way mango pairs with spicy food- it really cools down the heat of the spices that I add, but doesn’t exactly extinguish the fun of the heat that I love about that spicy homemade Korean hot sauce I like to put on top (recipe is in my cookbook). Instead of a homemade hot sauce you can also add chili pepper flakes, too. 

I love the way this packet smells as soon as you open it, the aroma of the mango is noticeable- that means they’re using real food in their products! It’s also gluten-free, vegan, halal-certified and NonGMO project certified. What a fantastic combination!

First, I pre-cook the spaghetti, drain it and set aside in a bowl to cool with a neutral-flavored oil mixed into it. 

Next, I cook the onions, garlic and red bell peppers, sautéed lightly in extra virgin coconut oil in a saute pan over medium heat. 

Next, add thinly cut carrots and broccoli stems. Cook until the just start to lose their crunch a bit, about 5 minutes. 

Add the shrimp, salt, pepper and packet of Saffron Road’s Thai Mango Simmer Sauce

Cook the shrimp until it turns pink, turning it every so often. Add fresh basil, green onions, roasted peanuts and the cooked noodles. Let this cook until everything gets nice and hot but keep turning the noodles around so they don’t stick to the pan.

Remove from heat and dig right in- just have some extra peanuts on the side for guests to add on their own; plus extra chili sauce or chili pepper flakes.
