I rarely cook pasta dishes. I don’t know why. Maybe I find it too much of a hassle to prepare the noodles. I gathered enough courage to try this Sriracha Shrimp and Zucchini Lo Mien anyways. And upon eating the dish, I knew that my mind has changed. I intend to cook more of these type of dishes. It’s just so good and this particular recipe is quite easy.

The combination of the flavors of shrimps, zucchini and sriracha are perfect! I never thought that they would be good together. It was my first time to cook Zucchini in a dish and I intend to cook more dishes with it. In fact, I just ordered one kilo from my favorite veggie store. I might try preparing pizza with it? Let’s see.

As for this Sriracha Shrimp and Zucchini Lo Mien, even after a day or two, it was still as good when it was newly cooked. I’ve added this to the dishes I don’t mind cooking again!
