Shrimp and Peanut Butter Noodles image

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.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think I just added too much soy sauce. Next time I'll be more careful.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.
