I am sharing my recipe for Red Chili Shrimp and Noodle Salad with you, which has Thai flavors and cold cooked shrimp.
This is a perfect option for me to have for lunches in warm weather months. Being made ahead, the salad is also a great choice for potlucks and picnics to pack and take along.
I know things like sesame noodles and dandan noodles are close to my heart, so this is not a recipe I would easily tire of. I would expect it to be well-received by others as well.
It is made easily with packaged instant ramen noodles. You can ditch those seasoning packets or save them to drop into quick soups. I like to be frugal and use those up with extra veggies I may have in my vegetable bin. I want that cleared out before I do additional grocery shopping.
