Asparagus and Shrimp Stir-Fry on Noodle Pillows

Maybe my kids are a little strange, but they absolutely love shrimp. Any way you prepare it. Hot, cold, battered and fried, naked, spiced, sauced-whatever you want, they love it. (Sorry, I realize I was getting a little Bubba-esque there about the shrimp).

They also are really fond of asparagus. If my 4-yr old sees it when we go to the grocery store, she begs for it. She complains about celery, but not asparagus.
I thought that was kinda strange because I just as an adult learned to love asparagus a few years ago, but I am not complaining.

I saw this cute stir-fry recipe and knew my whole family would love it. No bribing would be involved and that basically sold me on trying it.

You boil your pasta noodles and toss them with a little sesame oil and then form them into little nests and bake them in the oven until the outer edges and brown and crispy. Yum! The original recipe called for Asian wheat noodles, but I just used whole wheat vermicelli instead since I had some in my pantry.

The stir-fry is really basic- ginger, soy sauce, and garlic. I used canola oil to stir-fry my asparagus and shrimp.

My husband loves shrimp too, so this dinner was quickly gobbled down, with everyone asking for more shrimp. I love it when that happens.
