Shrimp Lo Mein

Manda's Note:

This is a wonderful shrimp lo mein recipe. To cut down on prep time, I peel and devein the shrimp ahead of time, or buy the ones that are already done for you. Sprinkle with a little sesame seed and sliced scallion for a nice presentation. (Note: Oil measure is approximate; you may need to add a little more to prevent sticking)

I tried to make a house lo mein for my husband and I used the shrimp marinade from this recipe. He said the shrimp was the best part of the dish! I will try again with the same marinade on all of the meat and possibly even the rest of the recipe.

We really liked this! We couldn't find snow peas so we used snap peas. We also added mushrooms. Other than that we followed directions as is. Very tasty!

It was definitely a Thai recipe, I'm not the biggest fan of Thai but it was nice and simple enough to make. Suggestion: I did add some brown sugar at the end and it really added to the dish.
