Shrimp Lo Mein

Sometimes you are just in the mood for noodles.  I try to be creative and think of new dishes to create that everyone will like.  

I came up with a Shrimp Lo Mein, based on what I had on hand, it all worked out pretty well.

Chinese is something I love to smell in the kitchen and I definitely love to cook.  Yes you guessed it and more than anything I love to eat it.

Have fun with this recipe as you can change the vegetables to suit your taste, such as, waterchestnuts, bamboo shoots, onions.  Experiment and let your creative juices flow right into this Lo Mein.  Switch out the shrimp for chicken and enjoy each and every savory bite.
