Ingredients

Protein and Noodles

  • 12 large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined
  • 4 ounces maifun brown rice noodles, or bean threads

Sauce and Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced, about 4 cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, peeled and minced
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 1 large red bell pepper, julienned
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, washed dried and sliced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh squeezed
  • 2 teaspoons crunchy garlic with chili oil, as garnish

Optional toppings:

  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh chopped
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts, crushed small
  • 1 ripe lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Equipment

  • 11-inch saute pan
  • pasta pot
  • colander

Instructions 

  • Boil a pot of water and cook the maifun brown rice noodles according to the package. Al dente is best.
  • Drain off the water using a colander. Spray the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking. Set them aside.

Prepare the sauce and shrimp:

  • Grab an 11-inch / 3.5 quart sauce pan and gently spray it with cooking spray.
  • Add the sesame oil, minced garlic and ginger over medium heat.
  • Once the garlic and ginger begin to brown, add the veggie broth and deglaze the pan.
  • Next, you’ll add the julienned bell pepper, carrots and mushrooms.
  • Once the veggies begin to soften, add the soy sauce, brown sugar and lime juice. Stir well.
  • Then, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. I used about 12 large shrimp.
  • Simmer everything together until the shrimp are pink and no longer opaque. Make sure they are fully cooked through. Reduce the heat to low and toss in your maifun brown noodles.
  • Once the noodles are well coated in the sauce, add everything to a platter. Top with chili oil, cilantro and crushed peanuts. Serve hot.
