Shrimpies & Garlicky Noodles

We weren't planning on doing a blog post today.. but the recipe I found via Steamy Kitchen seemed so beyond fool proof, and KK wanted to help per usual.. so, here we are. I had pre-cooked tail off shrimp, so that part was easy. Prepped the veggies for KK and let her at cooking.. no measuring, just pour! toss! stir! mix! eat! It was SO easy, and SO delicious. I kept a mental note of about how much we used of each ingredient. Like I said... this recipe couldn't be more simple.. and sometimes, those are the best dinners!

Note: KK wanted me to make SURE to include the fact she did not eat the shrimp in this recipe, and after photos were taken, she picked all the shrimp out of her bowl & added some raw snap peas in their place. We respect her decision to be a full vegetarian.. who also happens to be about 95% vegan as well, by choice. We make sure she gets her fat, protein & all other nutrients and vitamins in other places.
