Simple Garlic Noodles & Shrimp
Ingredients
1 Prepared Packaged Noodles like Lipton Creamy Garlic Shells
2-3 handfuls of frozen boiled shrimp (popcorn size)**
Garlic salt to taste
**you could also make this using packaged grilled chicken strips in place of shrimp.
Directions
1. Mix the noodles according to the package, but set the timer for 2 minutes less than what it calls for.
2. While the noodles are cooking in the microwave take 2-3 handfuls of frozen shrimp (I buy the kind with the tails already off) and thaw in a bowl of cold water.
3. When the microwave goes off, do not remove the noodles from the microwave. Drain the shrimp and add to the noodles and stir, close the microwave and continue cooking for the remaining 2 mins.
4. Let shrimp and noodles sit for a few mins before removing from microwave.
5. When I take them out I sprinkle with a little garlic salt and serve.
