PEANUT NOODLES WITH SHRIMP
Don't order takeout. You can make these super easy Thai-inspired peanut noodles at home for a fraction of the cost. First, make a quick peanut sauce of peanut butter (chunky or smooth, your call), lime juice, lime zest, sugar, fish sauce and water. Toss rice noodles into boiling water and remove from heat to soften. Meanwhile, sauté the shrimp with a heady combination of scallions, carrots, garlic and chile (for a meatless version, leave out the shrimp or substitute tofu). When the noodles are soft, but not mushy, drain and toss with the shrimp, vegetables and peanut sauce. Garnish with herbs and lime wedges. Now go directly to your junk drawer and throw away all of your takeout menus.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cut two limes into wedges and set aside. Grate zest from remaining lime into a large bowl and squeeze in its juice. Add peanut butter, sugar, nam pla and enough water to make a smooth sauce (start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed).
- When water comes to a boil, put noodles in pot; remove from heat.
- Put oil in a large skillet over high heat. A minute later, add shrimp and season with salt. Cook and stir until shrimp just begins to turn pink. Add scallions, carrots, garlic and chile and keep cooking and stirring until vegetables soften a bit and shrimp cooks through, just a minute or two more. Remove from heat.
- Noodles should be soft but not mushy; if they are not soft enough, let them sit a few more minutes. Drain noodles and toss them in a bowl along with shrimp mixture and peanut sauce. Sprinkle with lots of pepper and toss well; taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with herbs and lime wedges.

SHRIMP AND PEANUT BUTTER NOODLES
A staple for me in college, this is a sweet, salty, nutty dish that can be cooked up in less than 15 minutes. Measurements for the sauce can be adjusted for your taste, but with these ingredients, you can't go wrong! I use pre-washed, pre-cut broccoli florets to cut down on prep time as well.

PEANUT SAUCE OVER SHRIMP SKEWERS AND RICE NOODLES
Inspired by the flavors of Southeast Asia, GZ makes his take on Vietnamese bun with rice vermicelli, grilled soy-lime shrimp and julienned carrots and daikon. In place of the usual tangy fish sauce dressing, he tops the noodle bowl with a richer peanut sauce. Store-bought peanut butter is a shortcut for the traditional whole roasted peanuts and palm sugar in the satay-style sauce. To add a fragrant citrus note, he adds a dab of lemongrass paste from the tube. This versatile sauce pairs well with chicken and pork, as well as shrimp, and is delicious mixed into the noodles.

- For the noodles: Heat a griddle pan on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler to high. Skewer 3 shrimp with two parallel skewers to make 4 skewers with 3 shrimp each.

Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
