Shrimp Pad Thai
Recipe by: Chef Evan Castro
This fall favorite was featured on “Cooking with Country” Part 5 on October 18, 2020. We loved cooking along with everyone who joined us on Zoom. We appreciate everyone for the support! If you missed it here is the recipe with step-by-step instructions to recreate the dish. Don’t forget to pair it with our 2019 Kick Ranch Viognier
This Shrimp Pad Thai is made to be served along with our 2019 Kick Ranch Viognier.
This is one of our favorite pairings! The texture of the silky noodles and the silky white wine complement each other very well. The sweet impression, but the dry flavors of our Viognier are a good counterpoint to the sweet, salty, and spicy flavors of Pad Thai.
