This recipe covers 20% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. If you have vegetable oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the peanuts you could follow this main course with the Single-Girl Melty Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake as a dessert. It works well as a main course. It is a good option if you're following a dairy free and pescatarian diet.
Instructions
In a medium bowl, soak the noodles in cold water for 15 min; drain. Cover noodles with hot water, and soak for 15 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
Heat oil in a wok or large heavy skillet over medium heat.
Saute onion and garlic until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add shrimp, and cook until pink. Stir in ketchup, fish sauce, sugar, lemon juice and vinegar.
Pour in the beaten egg, and cook without stirring until egg is partially set.
Add drained noodles, 1/4 pound bean sprouts, and 1/2 cup peanuts.
Mix while cooking until noodles are tender.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris
Bright yellow/gold color, quite luminous. Superb smoky toasty nose, typical for this grape on limestone in Alsace (no new oak in our wines, just very long total lees contact). Some light reductive aromas that actually fit the style of dry Pinot-Gris. The palate is rich and creamy, with a velvety texture yet fully dry. It is an easy wine to drink now as there is no unnecessary weight. The finish is nice and round but fully dry. The complex limestone blend brings great acid balance and a certain weight. It should develop very nicely over the next few years.
