Ingredients

• 500 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 200 grams rice noodles
• 1 medium carrot (julienned)
• 1 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium zucchini (julienned)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 sheets parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha (if using), minced ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 4

Lay out the parchment paper sheets (about 30 cm x 40 cm each) on a clean surface.

Step 5

In the center of each parchment sheet, layer a portion of cooked rice noodles, followed by shrimp, julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Sprinkle each with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.

Step 6

Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared sauce over each pile of ingredients.

Step 7

Fold the parchment paper over the ingredients to create a pouch. Tightly fold the edges to seal, leaving enough room for air to circulate inside.

Step 8

Place the pouches on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque.

Step 9

Remove the pouches from the oven, place each on a plate, and carefully open to release the steam.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant Thai Shrimp Noodle Pouches!
