Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti or 8 ounces linguine, broken in half
• 1 lb shrimp or 6 chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 orange bell pepper
• 8 ounces mushrooms, slice (or 16 ounces)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (we used around 1-1 1/2 tablespoons)
• 3/4 cup sliced green onion
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• all purpose seasoning (for your shrimp)

Recipe

• 1 cook pasta.
• 2 while pasta cooks, in a skillet (deep enough to hold liquid and pasta later on) put a little olive oil and throw in your bell peppers and mushrooms. cook this down to your liking, and set them aside on a plate.
• 3 add some more olive oil to your skillet and throw your shrimp and garlic inches season your shrimp how you like them, i like to add a little tony's chachere's seasoning but you can do a basic all purpose seasoning on them. after cooked, set this aside.
• 4 in the same pan add the soy sauce, broth, red peppers, mushrooms, cornstarch (make sure you mix the cornstarch and together with a fork in a separate bowl before adding) keep stirring till mixture starts to thicken and bubble. i added an extra half tablespoon because i wanted my sauce a little thicker. keep stirring constantly to make sure it doesn’t burn.
• 5 once thickened add vinegar and crushed red pepper.
• 6 take off heat, add pasta, shrimp, sesame seeds. toss well to combine all ingredients.
