Shrimp and Broccoli Lo Mein

I could just go on and on about my love for shrimp… but instead I’ll share with you one of my favorite shrimp recipes:  Shrimp and Broccoli Lo Mein!

The last time I posted a shrimp recipe I told you I sat in the garage and bagged what felt like a ton of shrimp to freeze and enjoy throughout the winter.  It literally took me about 4 hours but sooooo worth it!  🙂

So I have to be honest here and say this isn’t authentic “lo mein”.  Because I really dislike having to hunt down special ingredients at specialty stores.  Because, really… who has the freakin’ time to do all that?  😮  The ethnic section of my local grocery store doesn’t carry it, so I just use whole grain spaghetti noodles.

You can use regular spaghetti noodles as well, but the whole grain noodles have a firmer texture that is similar to lo mein noodles.

Enjoy!
