Shrimp Stir Fry over Rice Noodles

So I am addicted to Amazon.com, the day I became a prime member and started to get free 2 day shipping on pretty much everything I started using it for so many items. One of those happened to be Rice Noodles. As you know I have been desperately trying to find a great Pad Thai Recipe (I finally did find one I like, check it out here!), and for the life of me I could not find pad thai noodles at any of the stores near me. I went onto trusty Amazon and found a great deal...it just involved buying 8 boxes of Pad Thai noodles. Well not one to give up a deal I now have a closet full of them and decided to make a stir fry over the rice noodles instead of using rice. This was a nice change and called to my pasta lovers heart!



Shrimp Stir Fry over Rice Noodles: Serves 4

8oz Rice Noodles
1lbs Shrimp (Peeled & Deveined)
2tsp Olive Oil
1/4C Teriyaki Sauce (I use LaChoy brand which is somewhat sweet)
2TB Soy Sauce (if you aren't using LaChoy do not add the Soy Sauce!)
1/4C Fresh Lime Juice
1/2C Fat Free Chicken Stock
1/2-1tsp Sriracha (optional)
4-5C Your favorite Stir Fry Veggies (I like carrots, bell pepper, snap peas, onions, zucchini and broccoli)

Cook your rice noodles. I'm not going to tell you how to do that because each brand is different in what they recommend for soaking times and whether you use boiling hot water or just hot tap water. So read your packaging please :)

Mix together the teriyaki, soy sauce, lime juice and chicken stock and set to the side (if you like heat add the sriracha). In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium to medium high heat, add the vegetables and stir fry (no salt / pepper needed!) until the vegetables are still firm but cooked through. Remove to a bowl and add the shrimp to the skillet with half of the sauce. Cook through for approximately 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are no longer translucent and are fully cooked.

All ingredients should be cooked now so add the cooked and drained noodles, vegetables and shrimp together with the remainder of the sauce over medium heat and toss together until the noodles absorb all of the sauce. Remove from the heat, serve & enjoy.
