Preparation

Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the almonds. Stir frequently and cook until you start to smell them, about 3-4 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once at a boil, add the noodles and cook them just a couple of minutes, to al dente, and drain.

While the water is close to coming to a boil, heat EVOO in large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add shrimp and cook for about 1 minute. Add peppers, scallions and garlic, and cook about 3 minutes more.

Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan, the soy sauce, sherry and hot sauce and toss everything well to combine. Cook a couple of minutes then season with salt and pepper. To serve, top each serving with some of the toasted nuts and chopped parsley.
