Ingredients

2 oz. bean threads (cellophane noodles)
1 bag (19 oz) frozen stir-fry sesame meal starter
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons rice vinegar or white vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
Dash ground red pepper (cayenne) or to taste
3 cups three-color (green and red cabbage and carrots) coleslaw blend (from 16-oz. bag)
1 1/2 cups cooked deveined shelled medium shrimp (about 1/2 lb.), tail shells removed
Chopped peanuts, if desired

Steps

1

With kitchen scissors or sharp knife, cut loops of dried noodles into 3- to 5-inch-long pieces; place in 1-quart bowl. Pour boiling water over noodles; let soak 5 to 7 minutes or until flexible but still slightly firm. Drain in colander; rinse and set aside.
2

Spray 12-inch skillet or wok with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add contents of meal starter bag, including sauce chips. Cover; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce chips are melted, sauce is bubbly, and vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir well.
3

In medium bowl, mix cilantro, vinegar, lime juice and ground red pepper. Add drained noodles, coleslaw mix and shrimp; toss to coat. Add cooked vegetables and sauce from skillet; toss. Top with peanuts.
