Workout, Dinner, Bed!

Let me just say thank you to Iris for inspiring me to make some peanut noodles. This dish is really fantastic! Not to pat myself on the back or anything but I'm surprised how tasty this is since I kind of made it up and hopefully some of you will try it.

I made this with the kelp noodles I mentioned the other day but you can use whatever kind of noodle you want, as well as whatever kind of protein you want. Delish!!!!!

Carb Free Peanut Noodles with Shrimp - OMG!!!

For the noodles:

1 package kelp noodles

3 T peanut butter

1 1/2 T rice wine vinegar

1 t garlic chile sauce

1 T sesame oil

4 drops stevia or 1-2 t sugar

1-3 T hot water

2-3 scallions, chopped

cilantro, chopped

Drain and rinse the noodles. Soak and drain in hot water several times to soften them up a little. They will still be a little crunchy but a better texture. In the meantime, mix next 5 ingredients together. Add the water a tablespoon at a time till it's a good consistency. I used all 3 tablespoons. Pour over noodles. Top with shrimp (recipe below) or protein of your choice. Add scallions and cilantro to taste. 

 For the shrimp:

1 lb uncooked shelled shrimp

1-2 t garlic chile sauce

1 t garlic

2 drops stevia or 1 t sugar

1 T soy sauce or tamari, low sodium

Mix all ingredients together and then add shrimp. Broil shrimp about 2 minutes per side.
