Thai Roasted Shrimp with Green Beans

I was browsing through the local newspaper at work when I stumbled upon this Thai roasted shrimp with green beans recipe. It caught my attention because of the ingredients and the way it was cooked. Moreover, the shrimp, which is the main ingredient, is one of my family’s favorite. The green beans and the use of red curry paste in the sauce are added bonus. I like that this dish is roasted in the oven using only one baking sheet. That is, only one sheet is used to toast the peanuts and to roast the shrimp and green beans. The dish came out flavorful and colorful to look at. A sprinkle of the toasted peanuts gave this dish a nice crunchy taste and texture.

Ingredients

• Large shrimp – peeled and deveined with tails intact
• Green beans
• Sauce: canola oil, lime juice, fish sauce, honey, red curry sauce, grated ginger and garlic, red chilies
• Garnish: toasted peanuts, chopped basil

How to make Thai Roasted Shrimp with Green Beans

To make this roasted shrimp with green beans dish, place the peanuts on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 4 minutes. Then, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. Toss and coat the shrimp and green beans in the sauce. Finally, place the mixture on the baking pan and roast it for 12 minutes. It is as simple as that! Serve this dish with steamed rice and garnish with the toasted peanuts and chopped basil.

Tips

• Keep an eye on the peanuts while toasting in the oven because they can burn fast.
• You may omit the chili if you are not fond of spicy food. On the other hand, use 2 red Thai chilies if you want to add a kick in your food
• When roasting, make sure the shrimp and green beans are spread out in a single layer
