Shrimp Lo Mein

Before our trip to Cabo, my mom came to visit and it’s always a good time when Janet Jackson arrives. A typical visit from Janet turns into her and Brian sitting on the couch making fun of me and gossiping about everyone in our families. Oh and she loves to also say Brian is her favorite child – but don’t worry I don’t feel left out :/

So to join in on their conversation faster, I wanted to make something that was quick and tasty, this Shrimp Lo Mein. If I could live on noodles I would, and this new recipe has made me fall in love with Lo Mein noodles even more. Brian and I have been on a roll when making Asian inspired dishes lately, and I wanted to mix in my love of noodles. Contrary to my feelings about noodles, my mom is not a fan and I knew it would be a stretch to get her to try this dish. She loved it! After eating her first bowl, she asked for seconds. While out bellies filled up with noodles, we made our rounds of family gossip. I call that a successful visit.
