Showing You How To Give Up Sodium Without Giving Up Your Life
Sesame Shrimp Noodles
I got this recipe in an email newsletter just as I was looking for something different for dinner. It gives you great Asian flavor without using any of the usual high sodium Asian sauces.
8 oz Linguine
1/2 lb mushrooms,sliced
1 1/2 c sugar snap peas,frozen
2 t sesame oil
1 t minced garlic
1/2 lb large shrimp,peeled and deveined (about 30 shrimp)
---------- Sesame Noodle Sauce -------------------
1/4 t crushed red pepper
1 t dried parsley flakes
1/4 c rice vinegar
1 t sesame oil
1 t fresh ginger,peeled and grated or 1/4 teaspoon dry
2 t honey
2 t cornstarch
1 T sesame seeds,sprinkle over top of finished dish
Mix together all ingredients for sauce: crushed red pepper, parsley flakes, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, honey and cornstarch. Set aside. Cook linguini according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, spray a skillet with cooking spray. Over medium heat, saute 2 teaspoons sesame oil and minced garlic for 30 seconds, add shrimp and saute shrimp until they are pink, about 6 minutes. When pasta is 3 minutes from being finished, add mushrooms and sugar snap peas to the pasta pot. Bring water to a second boil and finish cooking the pasta. Add the sauce to the shrimp and heat until thickened. Drain pasta, mushrooms and peas. Combine pasta and shrimp sauce. Top with sesame seeds before serving.
