Not everything in my kitchen is made from scratch. If it was, I could probably have a new post for every day of the week. But it’s not, so I don’t. In fact, Neil and I can be found munching a take-out pizza about once a month. We’ve had our share of turkey sandwiches, burgers, dogs, boxed mac-and-cheese, etc. With that in mind, this is a meal that I threw together in less than 10 minutes- yes you heard me right. And it was great! Spicy, vinegary peanut shrimp over smooth rice noodles with sweet, steamed fresh green beans.
What I did:
- Boiled some water and tossed in the packaged noodles to cook for 6 minutes
- While that was going I heated a bit of oil in a fry pan with some red pepper flakes and added the frozen shrimp, then covered so that the shrimp would heat up quickly
- The green beans went into a steam pan for about 7 minutes to get their cook on
- When the shrimp were fully heated, I removed their tails then threw them back into the pan and poured in a bottle of peanut sauce just to get warm
- Drained the noodles
- Chopped a bit of fresh cilantro
- Plated dinner, shrimp and sauce over noodles, sided by beans, topped with cilantro
