Rinse under cold running water; drain well. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. Return cooking water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until opaque (3-5 minutes). Rinse under cold water; drain.

I will be adding this to my WW cookbook. I did misread the recipe and this ended up being a hot noodle dish but still tasty. Made for ZWT 6.

DH really loved this ~ for me, it was good, but needed just a bit of something hot in it ... red pepper flakes or some chilies. I'll keep that in mind next time. Went together very quickly as I had everything prepared and ready to throw together. I think I'll also increase the dressing ~ it does get absorbed by the noodles. Thanks for posting ~ made and enjoyed for ZWT 6 - ASIA & the ZWT 6 Asian Diabetic Forum Challenge!

This was very tasty, I drizzled a little extra sesame oil over my bowl of noodles!! I used celery, and a yellow pepper, carrot and broccoli, forgot to add the cilantro until after the photo was taken!! I loved the crunchy vegetables and shrimp, I sprinkled some chopped peanuts over top. I will make this again!
