Does the size of shrimp affect quality?
How shrimp are raised or farmed predicts the quality of your shrimp, not the size. You don’t necessarily have to use jumbo shrimp in this recipe, so you smaller shrimp if you need to. The good news is you can make more shrimp to make up for the protein if you choose a smaller size!
What are shirataki noodles?
If you’ve never eaten shirataki noodles, they’re made from yam flour and lots of water. They can sometimes be packaged in water to stay fresh. Shirataki noodles are flavorless but they absorb the flavors they’re cooked in, like tofu. You can get shirataki noodles in all types of shapes like ramen, linguine, and macaroni.
