Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Place the pouches of peanut butter in a small bowl of warm water to soften.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 3 to 5 min., until al dente.
- Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the shrimp
- Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with S&P.
- In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Sauté the vegetables
- Meanwhile, in a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the cabbage, edamame and garlic.
- Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until tender; season with ½ the spices.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, juice the lime.
- In a second small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, ½ the lime juice, 2 tbsp water and a drizzle of oil.
Make the smashed cucumber salad
- Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; using the side of your knife, gently smash the halves until slightly flattened. Cut into large chunks.
- In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of oil, and the remaining lime juice and spices.
- Add the cucumbers; toss well.
Combine the noodles & serve
- To the pan of vegetables, add the noodles and sauce.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through.
- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Top with the shrimp and smashed cucumber salad. Bon appétit!
