This was last night's dinner - Cold Asian Shrimp &
Noodles.
Absolutely delicious. DH said it was a winner. Quick
to put 
together too. I did a lot of it earlier in the day and
did the
last minute cooking and combining later. Love dishes
like this.
Garnished with hot chiles, that is where they are. Of
course,
if you wish you can add them to the sauteing of the
shrimp.
