Thai Coconut Shrimp Pasta

I decided to go for a taste of Thai the other night with two ingredients I love:
peanut butter & bean sprouts............
I mean Pasta :)

Thai Coconut Shrimp
Ingredients:

8 oz dry brown rice noodles (I could not find these at HyVee but I did find Soba Buckwheat noodles that looked fun...all else fails use whole wheat pasta)

2 cups broccoli
2/3 c light coconut milk (I could not find light, so I used regular and watered it down a bit by
adding H20, you could also use skim milk)

1 T tomato paste
3T natural peanut butter

1 tsp ginger, ground
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (be generous as these give a nice kick)
dash or two of cayenne pepper (J likes it hott)
juice of 1/2 lime
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 c bean sprouts

24 medium cooked shrimp, peeled

Instructions:

Cook pasta according to directions. Once cooked place in strainer and rinse with hot water (prevents noodles from sticking together).

Fluff noodles with a fork and set aside. In a bowl add, coconut milk, tomato paste, peanut butter, spices, and lime juice. Use a fork or whisk to combine well. Simmer coconut mixture, bell pepper and bean sprouts in non stick pan over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Stir often. Add shrimp, broccoli, and noodles.

Heat entire mixture till it is HOT. Serve and enjoy.
