I really love using different exotic flavors for everyday meals. It’s a great way to introduce new cultures to my daughters. They are both huge fans of mushrooms so I told them it’s pasta with mushrooms. They loved it and hope your family does too.

Sometimes I really crave takeout food. Eating noodles from a bowl with chopsticks its comfort food for me. Maybe in my head, they taste better that way? But in all honesty, takeout is greasy, drippy and sometimes not very fresh. Homemade is always best and as you will see, it doesn’t require special tools or weird ingredients to make it.

The sauce has a sweet and sour flavor with the addition of sugar and vinegar to the mix. It meshes perfectly with the noodles and the shrimp. Gotta love Thai Cuisine.

I used 2 lbs. of shrimp for these Sesame Shrimp Noodles and it was a lot! But then again my husband’s appetite is huge. If you’re not really that hungry or would like to use less shrimp, simply decrease the quantity to 1 1/2 Lbs. or even less.

I just hate it when you order something with shrimp and there are only 3 shrimps inside the bowl! I am always moving my chopsticks around to see if I can fish some more. This certainly won’t happen with my recipe. There are tons to go around.

When you buy your shrimp, make sure that’s it fresh and that they peel and devein them for you. That will save you plenty of time while cooking dinner.

I really hope you can try this delicious Sesame Shrimp Noodles a try! If you do, please come back and let me know how they tasted – Or better yet, take a pic and tag @Livingsweetmoments on Instagram, I promise to repost it.
