Asian Inspired Shrimp & Noodles

This afternoon I was in need of a quick lunch so I looked in my pantry and decided to make up an easy Asian Noodle Bowl. The whole meal took 15 minutes to make, is tasty and includes very few ingredients. If you have more time than I did you could stir fry some veggies to add to it as well. Some green beans or snap peas and carrots would go nicely with this dish and add a pop of color!

Asian Inspired Shrimp & Noodles: Serves 2

4oz Egg Noodles
1lb Shrimp, Peeled & De-veined
4tsp Peanut Oil
2-3 Garlic Cloves, Minced
1/2tsp Soy Sauce
Salt & Pepper

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles. Once tender, drain and set to the side.

While the water is coming up to a boil add the soy sauce and salt & pepper to the shrimp and toss to coat. Once you have added the noodles to the water you want to start cooking the shrimp. In a large saute pan over medium heat add the oil & garlic and cook the garlic for 30-40 seconds until it turns fragrant. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook flipping occasionally until the shrimp is no longer translucent and has turned firm. Add the drained noodles to the pan and toss with the shrimp allowing the noodles to soak up any excess liquid.

Serve and enjoy!
