Healthy Shrimp and Vegetable Lo Mein

I am a big pasta lover and one of my favorite meals is lo mein. I woke up Sunday morning craving something salty, specifically lo mein. Unfortunately your standard lo mein meal from a Chinese or Japanese restaurant is often really high in sodium and loaded with fat. I did not want to suffer that post Chinese take out sluggish feeling that I often do. This homemade meal completely satisfied my craving without the negative aftermath! The entire batch is 565 calories and makes enough for three people, or two really hungry people :) Below are the ingredients, recipe, and nutritional information!

Ingredients: 3 oz whole wheat thin spaghetti 22 small-medium shrimp ( I used cooked frozen medium shrimp) 1 cup mushrooms 1 cup broccoli Diced onion (about 1/5 medium onion) 2 tbs Minced garlic 3 tbs Kikkoman low sodium teriyaki marinade 1 tbs Kikkoman low sodium soy sauce

Directions: Boil water in pot and place spaghetti in to cook. Spray pan with cooking spray and add garlic, onion, mushroom and broccoli, cook on medium for 5 minutes. Add shrimp and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until all veggies and shrimp is cooked through. If you are using raw shrimp instead of pre cooked this may be a little longer. Once spaghetti is cooked, drain and add to pan. Add teriyaki and soy sauce and mix together and let flavors blend on low for 2-3 minutes.
