Asian Soba Noodles With Shrimp

1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

12 ounces uncooked soba noodles

Asian pesto sauce (recipe below)

Asian pesto sauce:

3/4 cup peanut oil

3 cups fresh basil

3 cups fresh cilantro

3 cups fresh mint

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

2 to 3 tbsp lime juice

3 garlic cloves, grated

1 fresh serrano pepper, chopped very fine (*see note)

Prepare pesto: Mix all the Asian pesto sauce ingredients together in a glass bowl with a whisk.

In a glass bowl, put the cleaned shrimp and cover with 3/4 cup prepared pesto sauce, mixing lightly; set aside.

Cook noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.

Preheat broiler or grill.

Either string marinated shrimp on metal skewers, put in grilling basket, or on broiler pan.

Broil or grill shrimp until they turn pink, turning or stirring. This will take about 4 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.

In a large serving bowl, put the cooked soba noodles, add the remaining Asian pesto sauce, and toss together, then top with hot cooked shrimp.

*Note - always wear rubber gloves when handling serrano peppers and don't touch your eyes; wash hands immediately after handling.
