Soba Noodles with Shrimp, Sesame, Garlic and Ginger

Make a sauce with 1/3 c. soy sauce, 2 T sesame oil, 2 T fresh lime juice and 1 T. honey. Mix in 1/2 cup sliced green onions. Set aside.

Saute 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 T grated ginger in 1 T olive or peanut oil until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Place 24 cooked or uncooked shrimp in the saute pan, cooking until just pink (if cooked, just heat.) 

Cook store-bought or homemade soba noodles until done and drain. Place noodles in a soup bowl and cover with 1/2 the sauce in each of two bowls. Top with shrimp and garlic/ginger left in pan. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and more sliced onion.

Serve cold or hot with a simple cucumber salad of sliced cucumbers, rice vinegar, salt and pepper and chopped cilantro.
