Shrimp Lo Mein is another easy family dinner idea that will have you in & out of the kitchen in just 30 minutes. Simple, fast & so yummy!
Pair this with my Instant Pot White Rice too!
Now that it’s the new year I thought life would slow down a bit. But we are back to school work, my son has started college & continued his work schedule & we are back on our DIY room makeover projects around here. So while I was hoping things would slow & I would have time to breathe, it’s busier than ever. So of course, that means I’m looking for super quick & easy recipes. But I don’t want to resort to ready-made foods, I still want a home-cooked meal & this Shrimp Lo Mein is one the things I crave the most.

This is one of those awesome 30-minute meals we make again & again. We absolutely love Chinese food. A long time ago, we used to get take-out at least once a week. But since we moved to CDA it’s been really hard to find really good Chinese food. So after trying every place in town, we have had to learn to make our own, which really hasn’t been all that bad. Now we actually prefer our recipes over the restaurants. I love it because now I can have it whenever the craving strikes & it takes less time to make it than it does to wait for take-out. That’s a huge win for me!
