What kinda Pad Thai sauce u like to use? I have found there is a WORLD of difference in taste between brands.......I got some that was supposed to be 'authentic' and it was more shrimp paste tasting, but I like the Taste of Thai brand (I think thats what it is) in a little short fat glass jar, but its like $5 for about 3 servings worth (the way I use it anyway).
Otherwise that rec. sounds good!

Sounds good, but, if you simmered a shrimp for 5 minutes, that sucker must be tough as leather???

Otherwise, sounds great!

They weren't tough at all! Key is fresh shrimp. The frozen stuff smells bad.
