I have a love of just about any seafood.  To be more specific, it can be fresh lake or river food as well.  Being landlocked in the mid-west can sometimes present challenges to enjoying fresh fish and the like.  Although I don’t have a complete tolerance for enjoying dishes prepared from frozen seafood, there are certain instances when I am happy to take what is available to us here in Wisconsin.  I put this together the other evening using some frozen shrimp from my favorite grocer and in all honesty, they were delicious, along with the rest of the meal.

We may not always have access to fresh seafood here, but this time of year there is no shortage of fresh produce and it seem as though I have been pursing the use of such with a passion, knowing full well the growing season is so limited, especially here in the mid-western U.S.

This dish is a fusion of sorts.  I have never worked with cellophane noodles, and (don’t judge me but… they’ve been on my mind lately.   Also known as Chinese vermicelli, bean threads, bean thread noodles, crystal noodles, or glass noodles, they are a type of transparent noodle made from starch (such as mung bean starch, yam, potato starch, cassava or canna starch), and water.  Often you will find these in spring rolls and other such eats.

With this little meal, the contrasting flavors of fresh peaches and mango with a peanut sauce were all brought together with the shrimp and funky noodles I had been pining.  Once again, most important – the combo was not just nutritious, it was delicious.   We call it the N & D combo.  You’ll call it wonderful.

    Notes

    Consider crunchy peanut butter for the peanut sauce or the addition of 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts.
    Adjust consistency of peanut sauce as necessary. If it becomes too thick from reduction, add a small amount of water or olive oil or soy sauce and stir to desired consistency.
    Add 1 teaspoon nam pla (fish sauce) to cellophane noodles and stir, prior to plating. This will help loosen the noodles and help prevent them from sticking together.
