- 1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce, divided
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 6 ounces dried rice vermicelli
- 2 to 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ½ small onion, halved and thinly sliced
- ½ orange bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 12 snow peas, stems and strings trimmed and removed
Place shrimp, 1 teaspoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon oil into a mixing bowl and toss together. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Place rice vermicelli in a large bowl and completely cover with boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain completely and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl combine remaining fish sauce, soy sauce, curry powder, vinegar, and white pepper and whisk together.
Place a wok or large skillet over high heat. Once pan is hot, add 2 teaspoons oil followed by shrimp and 1 tablespoon sauce mixture and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp has barely cooked through. Transfer shrimp to large plate.
Place pan back over high heat. Add an additional 1 tablespoon oil to the pan along with onion, peppers, snow peas, and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables just begin to caramelize and char at the ends. Transfer vegetables to plate with shrimp.
Add skillet back over heat and add remaining oil, noodles and sauce. Toss together and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add vegetables and shrimp back to pan, over noodles, and toss together. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until everything is evenly coated and shrimp has finished cooking through. Remove from heat and serve.
