Shrimp Lo Mein

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. Rinse fresh produce.

3. In a shallow dish, combine 5 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Add shrimp, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Wash hands after handling raw shellfish.

5. Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Set aside.

6. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until very hot. Add onions, carrot, celery, broccoli and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

7. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp are pearly and opaque, about 3 minutes; discard used marinade. Wash hands after handling raw shrimp. Add broth mixture and bring to a boil.

8. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water to make a slurry; stir into shrimp and vegetable mixture. Cook for 30 seconds or until sauce thickens slightly.

9. Add cooked pasta and stir to coat evenly with sauce; season with salt and black pepper.

10. Transfer to a serving dish or individual plates. Garnish with green onions before serving.
