Satisfy Your Asian Food Cravings with this Coconut Shrimp Laksa Shirataki Noodle Recipe

I have always loved Asian food due to the unique flavors and spices that they use. Take, for example, this Coconut Shrimp Laksa Shirataki Noodle Recipe. Since I’m trying to limit my carb intake, the shirataki noodles are the perfect alternative to regular Asian noodles. This recipe is also good for those who are on the Keto or low carb diet.

Why You Need to Make this Shirataki Noodle Recipe

When someone is feeling the blues, the perfect pick-me-up is a warm bowl of soup or noodles. The other day, my son came home feeling depressed about something. Boys are not the talking type so I just made him this shirataki noodle recipe. He also likes spicy food so I knew that this will uplift his mood.

True enough, just two spoonfuls of the noodles lightened up his face. He finished a large bowl in just a few minutes and became his usual self that he got up and said that he will shoot some hoops with friends.

This shirataki noodle recipe is nutritious as it is delicious. Shrimps are low in calories and high in nutrients such as protein, vitamin B12, Iron, Phosphorus, Niacin, and Zinc. As I’ve mentioned in the previous blog post, shirataki noodles are low in calories and may contain insignificant nutrients unless added. Good thing I bought tofu shirataki noodles so it’s more nutritious.

In addition, lemongrass has a lot of benefits. Lemongrass is known to reduce bad cholesterol or LDL and lower blood pressure. It is also rich in flavonoids that contain antioxidants.

Conclusion

Next time you or someone in the family feels under the blues, whip up this Coconut Shrimp Laksa Shirataki Noodle recipe. It is also perfect for chilly nights and for those who are feeling under the weather.
