Stir Fried Shrimp Noodles - New York New York 10016

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds

* 1 pound fideos or very thin egg noodles

* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)

* 1 pound medium-size shrimp, peeled and de-veined, coarsely chopped

* 1 large or 2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and chopped

* 1 bunch scallions, chopped

* 4 large cloves garlic, chopped or grated

* 2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce, to taste

* 1/3 cup dry sherry

* 1 tablespoon hot sauce, to taste

* Salt and freshly ground black pepper

* 1/2 cup (a couple of handfuls) flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Preparation

Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the almonds. Stir frequently and cook until you start to smell them, about 3-4 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once at a boil, add the noodles and cook them just a couple of minutes, to al dente, and drain. While the water is close to coming to a boil, heat EVOO in large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add Shrimp Noodles and cook for about 1 minute. Add peppers, scallions and garlic, and cook about 3 minutes more.

Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan, the soy sauce, sherry and hot sauce and toss everything well to combine. Cook a couple of minutes then season with salt and pepper. To serve, top each serving with some of the toasted nuts and chopped parsley. For more details http://www.indomunch.com
