Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp

Great, noodles with chicken and shrimp is a dish highly appreciated in many variants of Asian cuisine, but I can suggest a version with an Italian touch. Here is a recipe you can try:

Ingredients

  • 200 g of rice or wheat noodles (depending on your preference)
  • 200 g of chicken breast
  • 150 g of shelled shrimp
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Cut the chicken breast into strips and the shrimp in half lengthwise, if they are very large.
  2. Wash and cut the zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper into julienne (thin strips).
  3. In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped garlic until golden.
  4. Remove the garlic and add the chicken and shrimp to the pan. Sauté over high heat until the chicken is golden and the shrimp are pink.
  5. Add the cut vegetables and continue to stir-fry for a few minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions, then drain and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  7. Add the noodles to the pan with the chicken, shrimp, and vegetable mix, add the soy sauce and stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  8. Adjust with salt and pepper and stir-fry everything together for a couple of minutes.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Curiosità

Although soy is a typically Asian condiment, the fresh parsley we added at the end is a typically Italian touch that will contribute to adding freshness to the dish. Additionally, the use of extra virgin olive oil is another small Mediterranean variant that can enrich the taste of this delicious cultural fusion.

I hope you like this version of the dish! If you have specific preferences or needs, such as the exclusion of an ingredient or the addition of particular spices, let me know so I can adapt the recipe for you.
