Pancit/pansit

I had a chance to attend a Filipino Gathering and I came across this Filipino noodles, staple dish of the Philippines.A friendly lady I met there told me the name of that noodles is Pancit and the dish looked fancy as the name sounded. Pancit/pansit, is a quick-cooked rice noodle dish stir-fried with meat/fish and vegetables and is one of the essential meals of Filipino cuisine.Pancit tastes better when lemon is squeezed over it before eating.
I tried an easy Pancit recipe from Internet and It came out good. So I thought I will share this with you.
Usually they use the shredded chicken (or other meat), but I used the Shrimp as a substitute.
