I really liked this dish, but then again l could drink  sweetened fish sauce and lime juice.  The sauce is very subtle for the entire dish and while I was tempted to make a double dose, I decided against it and instead added just a tad more fish sauce and I used agave syrup instead of the brown sugar.

Many times I brine shrimp for at least 30 minutes in brown sugar, kosher salt and water and I did that for this dish.

My big thing is heat in Asian dishes and while it did not call for anything hot, I added a few drops of sriracha chili sauce to my dish alone after tasting the noodles and shrimp without it, just a few drops. Seasoned as is was perfect for my husband, a fan of no heat.

This dish is easily prepped ahead of time and cooked at the last minute as I can attest to, I thought my husband was going to be home for dinner at 6:00 and he arrived at 5:00 for his hour dinner break. 

I had precooked the noodles so everything went as the recipe states and dinner was on the table in minutes. 

This recipe is a keeper and going into my Asian recipe files.
