Steps:
- Make sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare noodles: In a large saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. When you see a wisp of white smoke, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until light brown.
- Add the eggs and serrano chiles and cook, stirring, until the eggs are lightly scrambled and barely set, about 1 minute.
- Add the shrimp and onion, folding constantly until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute.
- Add the noodles, basil, tomatoes and sauce and toss to combine for about 3 minutes. Don't be scared to scrape the bits off the bottom before they burn. Cook for 1 additional minute until the noodles are cooked and coated well. Serve hot.
SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS
I find this technique much easier than the stovetop pan method. You'll get beautiful, perfectly frosted nuts that are roasted evenly, with no bitter burned spots.
