If you’d like to serve the Shrimp and Broccoli with noodles:
We recommend using rice noodles or soba noodles. Toss the cooked noodles with sesame oil and some salt so they’re flavored a little before serving.
If you’d like to serve the Shrimp and Broccoli with rice:
We recommend using brown or white rice. Make sure to start the rice before you begin to cook the shrimp.
