An easy peasy 20 minute meal that can be easily adapted with more veggies – quicker than take-out and so much tastier (+healthier)!
Thai cuisine is my absolute go-to when it comes to take-out. That and sushi. And Chinese food. Wait, they are actually all tied. But nonetheless, Thai noodles are a huge favorite at our house.
Except delivery takes an hour (on a good day) and a small takeout container of noodles costs about $12.83. But this recipe here will cost you about the same, except it’ll feed a family of four and there’s more than just 3 pieces of shrimp.
And you can easily adapt this recipe to add (or omit) vegetables to your liking. You can also swap out the shrimp for a different kind of protein like chicken or tofu if you want to keep it meatless.
Either way, this is coming together in just 20 minutes. That’s quicker than reaching for the phone, going through the takeout menu and ordering!
