Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • Coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
  • 32 large frozen shrimp, (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, deveined, thawed
  • Garlic-Chile Oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds (1 to 2 heads) broccoli, cut into florets, stems peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick

Directions

  1. Make peanut noodles: Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions; drain and rinse with cool water.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add spaghetti, season with salt, and toss to combine; set aside.
  3. Make shrimp skewers and broccoli: Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers (4 shrimp each); transfer to a broiler pan or broilerproof baking sheet. (If using bamboo or wooden skewers, cover exposed parts with aluminum foil to prevent scorching.) Dividing evenly, spoon 2 tablespoons garlic-chile oil onto shrimp; set aside.
  4. Place broccoli, 1 tablespoon Garlic-Chili Oil, and 3/4 cup water in a large skillet. Simmer, covered, over medium heat, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, broil shrimp until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with noodles and broccoli; drizzle all with remaining garlic-chile oil.

    What a great meal. Everything in one - shrimp, pasta and vegie. We loved this and will definitely make it again. The garlic-chili oil was so good I will make it again and use it in other dishes.

    Really good with buckwheat soba noodles. My kids chow down and they get more whole grain this way.
