Steps:
- To prepare the vegetables: Use a chef's knife to slice the peas in half lengthwise (or just roughly chop them). Slice the carrots into long, thin strips with a julienne peeler, or slice them into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. To make the sauce: whisk together the ingredients in a small bowl until emulsified. Set aside. Bring two big pots of water to a boil. In the meantime, toast the sesame seeds: Pour the sesame seeds into a small pan. Toast for about 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning, until the seeds are turning golden and starting to make popping noises. Once the pots of water are boiling: In one pot, cook the soba noodles just until al dente, according to package directions (probably about 5 minutes), then drain and briefly rinse under cool water. Cook the frozen edamame in the other pot until warmed through (about 4 to 6 minutes) but before draining, toss the halved peas into the boiling edamame water and cook for an additional 20 seconds. Drain. Combine the soba noodles, edamame, snap peas and carrots in a large serving bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss with salad servers. Toss in the chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve.

SHRIMP PRIMAVERA WITH CARROT & ZUCCHINI NOODLES RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by PineyCook
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Blanch the vegetables: Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes. This water is to stop the vegetables from cooking once they are blanched. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add kosher salt to your liking. Add the broccoli, asparagus, and green beans to the pot. Once the water returns to a boil, set the timer for two minutes. Remove the vegetables to the cold water. Drain and reserve. For the Primavera: Heat a large (12") non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the mushrooms in a single layer. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Saute, stirring and flipping the mushrooms until the mushrooms are browned on both sides. Remove to a plate and reserve. Add a bit more olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Add the slice cherry tomatoes, trying to get them cut side down. Saute for a minute or so. Flip the shrimp and continue to saute until the shrimp are cooked and the tomatoes are slightly softened. Remove to the plate with the mushrooms and reserve. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, half & half, and the corn starch. Reserve. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Once heated, add the carrot noodles, and saute for 1 minute. Raise the heat a bit, and add the white wine. Saute for 2 more minutes, lower heat to medium, and add the zucchini noodles. Toss the noodles together and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the noodles are done to your liking. Add the reserved vegetables and shrimp. Toss together. Add the broth mixture, and stir until thickened. There won't be a lot of sauce. It just coats the noodles, shrimp, and vegetables. Stir in the parmesan. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper; and serve - allotting 6 shrimp per serving.
Tips:
- Select the right carrots: Choose fresh, firm carrots with a bright orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Use a spiralizer: A spiralizer is the easiest way to create carrot noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of carrot.
- Cook the carrot noodles briefly: Carrot noodles only need to be cooked for a few minutes. Overcooking will make them soft and mushy.
- Add carrot noodles to your favorite dishes: Carrot noodles can be added to stir-fries, salads, soups, and even desserts. They are a healthy and delicious way to add more vegetables to your diet.
- Store carrot noodles properly: Carrot noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze carrot noodles for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Carrot noodles are a healthy and delicious way to add more vegetables to your diet. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. With a little creativity, you can use carrot noodles to create healthy and delicious meals that the whole family will love.
