Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place shrimp in a large glass baking dish.
Combine the next 5 ingredients in a small bowl.
Pour sauce over shrimp, toss to coat and distribute shrimp so they are in a single layer.
Bake shrimp for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
While shrimp is baking, cook rice noodles according to the directions on the package.
When shrimp is done, add rice noodles to the baking dish with the shrimp.
Toss noodles to coat with the excess sauce.
Sprinkle bean sprouts, carrots, green onion, cilantro and chopped nuts over the top.
Notes
Use chopped roasted chickpeas, instead of nuts if desired. To roast chickpeas, rinse thoroughly and spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the chickpeas are crispy and "rattle" in the pan. Turn in pan halfway through. Roughly chop if desired.
