School is back in session and everyone’s schedules have exploded. We are just busy. End of story. I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking and neither do you. This Asian shrimp and noodle recipe comes together in just 30 minutes. And, let’s not forget its also delicious AND healthy!
The ingredients are very simple as well. The veggies and shrimp are tossed in pantry staples and I always keep an Asian-style noodle around for a quick addition to a handful of recipes that my kids (and my husband and I) love!
Another reason to fall in love with this recipe is that you can customize it to your own taste and dietary needs. Don’t like bok choy or mushrooms? Use any veggie you love. The shrimp can easily be substituted for any protein or keep it vegetarian if that’s what you’re feeling! I even have substitution ideas if you need something low carb or allergen-friendly. You name it, we can make it just for you!
