Thai Peanut Noodles

I find these noodles to be completely addictive and I'm not sure why. I could eat the whole bowl myself.

from Fast Family Suppers


Ingredients

1 lb cooked, peeled med shrimp
1 c Italian salad dressing
2 Tbsp crunchy peanut butter (I use smooth)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1 c green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp sesame oil
8 oz pkg angel hair pasta (or spaghetti)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro (I've not tried it)
2/3 c chopped peanuts (optional - I don't add)

Directions
Coat shrimp with 1/2 c Italian dressing and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Whisk together remaining dressing, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, ginger and red pepper flakes until smooth; set aside.

Saute carrot, green onions and shrimp in sesame oil about 5 minutes or until shrimp are thoroughly heated ( I don't heat the shrimp - cooking shrimp makes it tough and shrinks it up quickly).

Toss pasta, peanut sauce and shrimp mixture together in a large serving bowl; sprinkle with cilantro and, if desired, peanuts.

(You can substitute chicken breasts for the shrimp, if you want)
