Thai Chicken and Shrimp Noodle Salad Recipe #239281

Bean thread noodles are also called cellophane or transparent noodles. If you can't find those, you can substitute with angel hair pasta. For more flavor, saute the shrimp in olive oil with a little crushed garlic first. The nam pla (fish sauce) is the source of the salt in this recipe, so if you want more flavor make 1 1/2 times the sauce.
