🥛Milk🥜Peanuts🦐Shellfish🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For shellfish-free meals, swap the shrimp for tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas; the sweet-spicy dressing and crunchy vegetables still work well. If needed, use sunflower seeds instead of peanuts and choose a dairy-free sesame dressing to avoid milk while keeping the same nutty profile.
What to serve with it
Serve with jasmine rice or rice noodles if you want a more filling plate, or keep it light with extra cucumber, herbs, and a crisp limey side salad. A chilled Thai-style iced tea or sparkling water with citrus also suits the spicy, sweet-savory flavors.
