Made this Pad Thai recipe, just doubled everything. Recipe doesn't specify, but the shrimp should be fresh or defrosted, not frozen. I love wide rice noodles so I used those, though they got a bit mashed. We had a free bag of peanuts from the Roadhouse, it was a pain to de-shell them, but free is free. Note to self: use the spice grinder or something to chop the peanuts next time. A regular knife just sends everything flying. I'm glad we used extra small shrimp, they cooked in no time and came out just right. I even added a little more sriracha to my bowl, not too spicy with everything else in there.

For the peanuts, you can pop them in a Ziploc bag and either smash with them with a hammer or equivalent, or crush them by rolling over them with a rolling pin.
Obviously, don't do it like this.

I would try it. Spicy food doesn't scare me.
It's less that spicy food scares me than I know what havoc it can wreak on my stomach, and I don't like that.
It's the "post stomach" stage that gets me these days.
I guess I'm weird, because my gut likes spicy food. It makes everything work better.
Well, the stomach is just the first step on that voyage...
I mean, depending on how you look at it, everything past that point on its journey certainly seems to work more efficiently for me...
