Sesame Thai Noodles With Shrimp

Sesame Thai Noodles With Shrimp

Ingredients:  

                             (For 4 persons)Salad

10 ounces sesame noodles(try to get sesame noodles if possible, they really make the dish)

2 cups shrimp(I used large, peeled and tails off)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon lime juice

ired pepper, cut in thin strips

1/2 cup grated radish, as a garnish

1 teaspoon olive oil

Sauce


1 1/2 cups cilantro, chopped fine

3/4 cup chicken broth

4 tablespoons lime juice(use fresh)

4 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh ginger

4 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons sesame oil, dark

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons garli

Directions:

1 Shrimp -- In a large baggie, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime juice and shrimp and marinate for about 1-2 hours, no more.

2 Sauce -- To a food processor, add all the ingredients and puree until well blended. This can also be done in a blender. Just set to the side.

3 Pasta -- make the pasta according to directions. Use plenty of salt in the water and boil the pasta. Once done, drain well, return to the pot to dry out slightly not over heat and just cover on the side to keep warm.

4 Shrimp -- as the pasta cooks, cook the shrimp. A medium saute pan on medium heat add the olive oil and then cook the shrimp 1-2 minutes per side until pink and the shrimp begin to curl. It doesn't take long.

5 Salad -- Add the cooked shrimp to the pasta, and then the sauce. Toss well and garnish with the fresh radishes and maybe sound ground black pepper.
