"This recipe for Pad Thai Noodles with Shrimp is authentic and simple enough for any aspiring cook to make. The pad Thai sauce is easier to create than the more-common tamarind-based variety (most people don't realize that original pad Thai didn't contain tamarind at all, the makings of pad Thai being brought to Thailand via the Chinese). When I was last in Thailand, I went back to the same pad Thai seller everyday because of her amazing pad Thai, and it wasn't until just before I left that she told me how she makes it (a simple recipe without tamarind). If you're living in a place where Asian ingredients are difficult to find, then this [tamarind-free] recipe might just make your day. Enjoy!..."
