Shrimp noodles with zucchini and carrots is a light, tasty, and nutritious dish inspired by Asian cuisine.
The noodles, soft oriental spaghetti, perfectly absorb the flavors of the dressing: the zucchini and carrots, cut into sticks, maintain a crunchy texture that contrasts with the softness of the prawns, juicy and delicate.
An intertwining of colors and flavors that conquer at the first taste.
Easy to prepare, they are excellent both hot and cold. Moreover, it can be served not only as a first course but also as a single dish.
The vegetable noodles provide fiber and vitamins, while the prawns ensure lean protein and minerals.
