  • For a spicier dish, you can increase the amount of chili paste used.
  • Make sure to buy large shrimp that are peeled and deveined to make the preparation process easier.

  • Instead of chili paste, use 1 tablespoon of Sriracha sauce. The benefit of this substitution is that Sriracha is a bit spicier than chili paste, so it adds a little extra heat and flavor to the dish.
  • Instead of olive oil, use sesame oil. The benefit of this substitution is that sesame oil has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor that can add a nice depth of flavor to the dish.

Vegetarian Version Replace the shrimp with 1 pound of firm tofu, cut into cubes. Increase the amount of chili paste and soy sauce to your desired taste. Broil for 10 minutes or until tofu is golden and green beans are charred.



Coconut Rice - This fragrant side dish is a perfect accompaniment to the bold flavors in the shrimp and green beans. The sweetness of the coconut balances the heat of the chili paste, making for a delicious and satisfying meal.
