A comforting and hearty dish featuring succulent shrimp and al dente noodles generously coated in a rich, savory gravy, perfect for a warming meal. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 4 Prep Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: - 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined - 1 tbsp olive oil - 1 onion, chopped - 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth - 1/2 tsp dried thyme - 8 oz egg noodles or wide pasta - Salt and black pepper to taste - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for gravy) - 1/4 cup cold water (for gravy) - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Instructions: 1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. While noodles cook, pat shrimp dry and season generously with salt and pepper. 3. Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook quickly for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside. 4. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pot with a splash of broth, scraping up any browned bits. 5. Stir in remaining chicken/vegetable broth and thyme.
