Sweet Chili & Thyme Shrimp Noodle Bowl

 The kids have been bugging me for Noodle bowls for weeks now and on a chilly rainy Sunday night we decided it was the perfect night to make them! We've been living in South Carolina for the last couple months and have amazing access to fresh local seafood. We literally can walk across the causeway less than a 1/2 mile to a fish market where the shrimp boats pull up to the back door.It's not going to be easy leaving here in a couple weeks, even headed back home to the Maryland coast we get great fresh seafood and we can walk up to the boats to buy also but walking in the South Carolina sunshine through your backyard to a local and fresh fish market will be greatly missed!Anyway back to eating!! Because you all need this recipe! Kids loved it so much they had seconds and were moaning in delight and asking if we could do it again the next night! LOL!  Guess this one is going on the weekly menu for the upcoming weeks.

3. In a pot bring water to a bowl and cook ramen for 3-5 minutes. Don't OVER cook they'll get mushy and ruined. Drain.
