Our son, a restaurant owner, showed me how to make this quick shrimp and noodle dish zipped up with garlic and cayenne. I take advantage of this area's ample shrimp supply and make this special entree often. It's also tasty served over rice.

My husband & I thought this is a great recipe. He completely forgot it was actually Diabetic Friendly.

We served it alongside asparagus and the two were very complimentary. My husband and nine-year-old loved it.

very good! a simple and quick meal. would probably only use 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper next time i make it - 1/2 tsp was a bit too much for my preference.

One of my husband's favorite dishes! I even make this for company. I recommend using fresh shrimp... and don't overcook them or they'll be tough! Cook them just until their pink... only 2-3 minutes. Of course, adding a little extra butter or garlic never hurts though:)

I have made this many many times and each time my family loves it! I did, however, roast a pint of grape tomatoes and toss them in at the end. Delicious!!!
