Ingredients

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons Southeast Asian fish sauce
4 teaspoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon grated, peeled, fresh ginger
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 medium red onion, cut in 1-inch dice
1 medium yellow pepper, seeded, cut in 1-inch dice
1 jalapeno chile, thinly sliced into rounds
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup torn fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Serving suggestion: Jasmine rice

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, fish sauce, and sugar; set aside. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink but still translucent in the middle, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the onion, pepper, and chile to the skillet, and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan along with the soy sauce mixture. Bring to a boil, and stir-fry until the sauce glazes the shrimp, about 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes and stir until coated with sauce, about 15 seconds. Remove pan from the heat, stir in the basil, mint, and lime juice. Transfer to a serving dish, serve immediately.

Easy, Delicious, and its slimmed down too!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The prep work takes a little time but the final dish is fantastic, I did cut the Peanut oil to 2 Tbl spoons but left the rest... as is and my Wife and I not only loved it, but had a good time cooking together as well. Definitely go with the Jasmine Rice... My Favorite Rice anyway. Thank You food network for a slimmed down recipe. I had a Gastric Bypass on 12/2/2008 and am always looking for a high protien, low calorie meal and this fit the bill, I only get 3 tblspoons of rice but at least I got the taste I love.. How about some more High Protein meals for all us Gastric Bypass folks.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this dish because it's a good way to eat vegitables in a non traditional way. My husband didn't like though. but I... think it's because he's used to the quality of good Thai restaurants.Read more

I have never been much of a thai food lover, but this was wonderful. I had to change a couple of ingredients because I could... not find them at my grocer. Used dry mint and just evoo and it was GREAT. I will be keeping this recipe for life. Oh and it's Slimmed. How great is that.Read more
