We used quick cooking angel hair pasta for this recipe; any pasta such as linguine, Chinese egg noodles or soba noodles can be used in recipe. For added nutritional value, add stir fried veggies to the sweet chili shrimp mixture.

Ingredients

1/2 pound angel hair pasta, dry
1/4 cup green onions, minced
3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
1 tablespoon good quality soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1 pound large raw shrimp (about 16 to 20 shrimp), peeled and deveined
1/4 cup Holland House White Cooking Wine
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce

Preparation

Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, combine green onions, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds in a large bowl and stir to blend. Add hot drained pasta and toss to evenly coat. Keep warm.
Drain thawed shrimp and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in large skillet or wok; add shrimp and stir fry over medium heat for 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink, stirring frequently. Add Holland House White Cooking Wine and sweet chili sauce. Heat for 2 minutes or until bubbling and liquid is starting to reduce.
To serve, divide pasta evenly on 4 plates; top each evenly with sweet chili shrimp mixture.

Watermelon-Mint Agua Fresca

Strawberry Cucumber Salad

This easy light summer salad, made with cucumbers, strawberries, almonds and fresh herbs is great alongside grilled chicken, fish or for a light lunch you can double the serving and add some goat cheese to the mix or serve it over quinoa for more protein.

I'm love using balsamic glaze over salads, it's not just pretty it's sweet and tangy and there's no need for oil. Delallo makes the best one I've tried, but I've also seen the glaze at Trader Joes. If you don't have it, you can certainly drizzle the salad with regular balsamic, although it won't be as pretty.
