Toss this one-bowl meal together in just 10 minutes for a wonderful Chinese-inspired shrimp and vegetable salad. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner, each bite features the delicious crunch of chow mein noodles, bean sprouts and fresh vegetables alongside tender shrimp dressed with a spicy sesame-soy dressing. A quick stir-fry of the vegetables adds a wonderful sear. The pre-cooked shrimp need only be thawed and warmed to release their wonderful texture and flavor. Serve hot or at room temperature for a complete meal or make it heartier and add some steamed brown rice.
