Chili powder, bell peppers, and tomatoes transform fried shrimp and noodles into a delicious Tex-Mex dish. First, all the ingredients are individually fried until golden brown, then combined in a light sauce of chopped tomatoes and cooked through. The dish takes just half an hour to prepare, yet it's delicious, like something straight from a traditional restaurant. Serve each serving with a dollop of sour cream, pickled jalapeño rings, and chopped fresh cilantro to fully enjoy the flavors and aromas of Tex-Mex cuisine.
