MINT-MARINATED SHRIMP WITH GLASS NOODLES
Unlike the Vietnamese dish that inspired it, this recipe relies on a quick mint marinade to infuse the shrimp with flavor before they're sauteed, tossed with noodles, and dressed with chile and lime.

HERB AND LEMON SAUCE FOR SHRIMP AND PASTA
Very yummy and spicy. Lower the amount of oregano and basil to reduce spiciness, and use less red pepper flakes to lower the heat. To ease cooking and prevent burning or overcooking, have all the ingredients chopped and prepared in separate bowls for quick addition to the skillet. I serve this with steamed broccoli and garlic bread.

- Stir in lemon juice and cook another minute, then add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese; toss well and serve immediately.
- Serve with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

Steps:
- Mix brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, lemon peel, cayenne pepper, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add shrimp and stir to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, place mint, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 cup oil in processor. Blend until mint is finely chopped and mixture is smooth, scraping down sides occasionally. Season mint dipping sauce with salt.
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread shrimp onto skewers. Grill shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with mint dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh mint and lemon. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint; use half the amount called for in the recipe and add it to the sauce at the end of cooking.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, white wine will add a delicious flavor to the sauce, so it's worth using it if you have it.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it turns opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Serve the lemon-mint sauce with shrimp immediately. The sauce is best when it is fresh and bright. You can also store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Lemon-mint sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of dishes. It is especially good with shrimp, fish, and chicken. The sauce is also very easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, try lemon-mint sauce.
