Author Notes

Having shrimp for dinner always feels just a little bit fancy, but it couldn’t be faster or easier.
This is an easy weeknight dinner that feels extra special. It’s Asian inspired with a hint of Italian. Not traditional, but so tasty.
Cashew nuts and pan-seared shrimps get tossed in a honey garlic soy sauce with lots of fresh basil for extra flavor. I like it spooned over udon noodles, but it’s also great with rice noodles. Actually, you can use any type of noodles with a strong hold, spaghetti would work great for example.
The sauce is made up of garlic, chili, lemon, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sweet honey. Super easy and delicious! —Anna Chwistek | Serving Dumplings
