Main Dish

• 2 packages Ramen Noodles
• 16 oz uncooked shrimp
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
• 1 broccoli crown, florets
• 1 zucchini or yellow squash
  Option: you can use half zucchini and half yellow squash
• 1 white onion, medium dice
• 1 bunch of cilantro, minced
• Canola oil for cooking
• 1/2 bunch of green onions, shaved thin
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp peanut butter (optional)
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 Tbsp red miso paste
• 1 Tbsp Thai chili paste
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1/2 Tbsp red pepper flakes
• Juice of 1 lime

Directions

1. You will want to make the sauce first by combining the chili paste, miso paste, sesame oil, soy sauce and peanut butter, garlic, lime juice, red pepper flakes and honey. Mix until fully incorporated; you want the sauce to be loose so it will cover your noodles and veggies.
2. Place a large skillet on high heat and coat with canola oil.
3. Once the skillet is visibly hot, add and the onions and peppers and lightly sauté. Then add the broccoli. Add the squash in when the broccoli is mostly cooked to your liking, salt and pepper and garlic.
4. Toss the shrimp in a little oil, lime, salt, and pepper.
5. Place a skillet on high heat with an even coating of oil. Add the shrimp once hot, and sear on both sides. This will take about 5 minutes.
6. While the veggies are sautéing, cook the noodles per the directions on the package.
7. Drain the noodles and add a touch of oil to them – this will keep them from sticking together.
8. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, turn the heat down to low and add the noodles, Thai sauce, shrimp and cilantro to the pan. Carefully mix so the sauce is coating the entirety of the ingredients.
9. Top with cilantro and green onion and sesame seeds.
10. Serve and enjoy with a glass of 2022 Limited Release Grenache Blanc!
