I really wanted this to be good, and it was! My family loves broccoli, shrimp and noodles, plus it is a one pot meal. So, I had to give it a try. Everybody loved it! I did substitute whole wheat fettucini for the whole grain aspect. The sauce is very good. The only addition I made was one teaspoon of chile garlic sauce to add some spice. I have tried many peanut sauce recipes, because I love it. This was by far the easiest and quite good. This dish was fast, easy and healthy. Definitly a keeper!

This was great! I added used brown sugar instead of regular sugar, and added about 1 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes and 2 cloves of garlic to the sauce, which I heated over low heat until the peanut butter melted. Instead of broccoli, I added shredded cabbage, shredded carrots and green onion. I also used extra chunky peanut butter, which added a nice crunch. I used pork instead of shrimp, as I already had some ready for use. Thanks so much for the post! I'll be making ths one often.

Really good recipe. I just made the peanut butter sauce and poured it over plain noodles (because I dislike shrimp and broccoli) and most everyone in my family seemed to enjoy it. One of my sisters even begged me to make her just the sauce so she could use it as a salad dressing.

I cooked according to directions but my noodles came out a little too overcooked. Could be because I have a gas stove. Family all said they would make it again so I will but will cook the noodles less and add more shrimp and broccoli. Flavor was good.

Very tasty. The noodles were a bit overcooked and mushy, will definitely cook less next time. The sauce was quite delicious.

I used a frozen mixed stir fry vegetables with noodles in place of noodles and broccoli. Turned out nice.

This was pretty good. Not my favorite Asian Peanut sauce but I'd make it again. What I liked about it was I could prepare everything in the same pot. I boiled my noodles, pulled them out, boiled the shrimp, pulled them out and then boiled frozen Asian vegetables all in the same water. Needed a little soy sauce on top of the noodles. Easy clean up and extremely fast and well balanced meal to prepare.

It was tasty but heavy. It needed more broccoli.

Not a bad recipe. I think that the amount of sesame oil shoiuld be cut back to about 1/2 teaspoon and maybe a little something like a little honey to sweeten it up. The udon noodles were gag me though. I think that good old linguini would work much better.

My boyfriend was very skeptical about this recipe because of the name, but I promised him we could go to Taco Bell or something if he didn't like it. We both liked it, though! I had to use rice vinegar and whole wheat spaghetti noodles (half a pound), but didn't change anything else. This was quite tasty and I ALWAYS have the ingredients on hand (I buy precooked, shelled, frozen baby shrimp), plus it was fast, so I'll surely make it again. We had it with steamed edamame (soybeans). Thanks for the good recipe!
