Notes
The noodles used in this recipe were vermicelli, but you can make it with whatever type of noodles you like best.
You can also use the shrimp of your choice, even cooked shrimp, and just marinated.
If you don't want to use peppers, you can use carrot sticks. The dish will be more colorful and the carrot sticks get crispier.
Almonds can be replaced with peanuts, other nuts, or toasted seeds.
Chives also work very well in this recipe.
