Curiosity

Soy spaghetti is a great gluten-free alternative to wheat spaghetti and prevails in Asian cuisine. By combining them with vegetables and shrimp, you get a balanced dish full of flavors. The addition of parsley and chili pepper is a way to bring some of the Italian taste to a typically Eastern dish.
