Shrimp Chow Mein

Main· Recipe Archive

Shrimp Chow Mein is A warm and healthy dinner in less than 30 Minutes!

“What are you hungry for?” “Shrimp Chow Mein!” This conversation gets repeated in my household at least twice a month. This is another dinner in my Under 30 Minutes recipe category. And those always fit right into that comfort food list also. Pork or chicken are great choices for the meat but you can use anything you have or substitute a fish or vegetable product as well. The crunchy noodles sprinkled over a bed of delicious pork, shrimp, cabbage and spices create an enticing and satisfying stir fry for your family dinner. Dish up some brown rice, add a bowl of egg drop or won ton soup and a healthy and complete warm meal can be served to your family before they have washed their hands and set the table.
