Shrimp in Mayo Sauce with Peaches

This ‘Shrimp in Mayo Sauce with Peaches’ dish, which contains ingredients, such as condensed milk and mayo that don't seem so harmonized until you try it.  You will then agree that these two ingredients and shrimp work so well together.  Tossing with the mayo sauce, it doesn't ruin the crunchy coating of the shrimp at all.  The peaches also play a big role in this dish.  They add a fruity taste to it.  No wonder every time when I am in a Chinese restaurant, I frequently see customers order this dish.  I really enjoy this great recipe, and I have never failed with it.

    1. Hi Peggy, the noodles are called rice vermicelli noodles. They puff up when they are in hot oil. Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
