Wow, this was really great. I had purchased a can of cream of shrimp soup by accident and searched for a recipe that I could use it in. I came across this one and I am so glad I did. I followed the recipe exactly and added the soup when I added the shrimp and water because the recipe doesn't say when to add it. The pepper flakes add just the right amount of heat and we loved the crunch from the chow mein noodles, which I think are a must. This dish has a great asian flavor to it and was so simple to make. My husband and I are fighting over the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for the great new add to my dinner rotation. UPDATE! - I can no longer find cream of shrimp soup at any store. Go figure! So now I buy cream of celery and I purchase shrimp top ramen and use the flavor packet to mix with the soup. Still tastes great!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Colorado. I LOVE it here!
My husband and I own a motorcycle service and repair shop (primarily Harley's, but not in a snobbish way- if you love to ride- you are our kind of people- no matter what you ride.) We also have an on site machine shop and we make all kinds of custom parts and accessories.
I don't have a favorite cookbook, but some of my favorite recipes come from old newspapers and family recipes.
I really enjoy pottery, being outdoors, camping, growing herbs, flowers, and veggies, and spending time with my friends and family. I also love to grab a beer or glass of wine and just hang out w/friends.I also love to spend time with myself in a bath with a good book. (I don't find anything wrong with drinking alone under these circumstances.)
