This Tom Yum Spaghetti recipe is irresistable!
It is a Thai Fusion dish that incorporates pasta noodles with asian spices and aroma.
An Asian style pasta you might say…
For this recipe I used shrimp as my protein, but of course you can use your prefered protein choice.
It is only a one portion quick fix, but if you must make this for a larger group, I would recommend making the sauce first and pour over the pasta. Since that is probably the best solution and method for serving more portions at a time.
Tom Yum Spaghetti (Shrimp)
This is an asian fusion dish that brings the taste of Thailand to meet with Italian pasta. This is a super easy and tasty dish. You won't eat spaghetti the same way ever again! To make this simple, quick, and easy to understand, this recipe is 1 serving.
I left out the measurements of some of the ingredients because it's pretty much up to you.
- 5 oz Spaghetti
- 1 tbsp Tom Yum Paste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup Spaghetti tomato sauce (Use original (no meat sauce) )
- 8-10 each Shrimp (peeled & devein) (or other protein)
- Garlic (coarsely smashed )
- Shallots (thin sliced)
- Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
- Red Onions (sliced lengthwise)
- Mushrooms (I used Bunapi mushroom)
- Thai Basil
- kaffir lime leaves (optional)
- Grape/Cherry Tomatoes (cut halves)
Pre cook your protein
on medium- high heat.
add olive oil to pan.
Cook your shrimp and set aside.
This is so the shrimp won't be overcooked.
Cook Noodles & Sauce at same time
cook your spaghetti as instructed on the package. (5 min)
add salt and a bit of olive oil to water for boil.
As your noodles are cooking, start to cook your sauce in a separate pan:
bring to temperature & add in your coarsely smashed garlic, and sliced shallots.
Bring out the aroma (1 min).
add mushrooms.
add 1 tbsp Tom Yum paste, red onions, tomato sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp fish sauce.
stir and let simmer for 2 min.
add kaffir lime leaves (2), & cherry tomatoes
As your noodles are finish cooking over at the other pot, take noodles from pot and add to sauce directly.
add your cooked shrimp and/or other cooked protein.
give a good toss and cook another minute.
transfer to plate and top with thai basil & grated parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
