Sweet Spiral Shrimp with Rice Noodles

Okay, so I tried making the summer shrimp rolls and didn't like them at all.  I scrapped the recipe after making 4 rolls, took all the ingredients, and made up my own recipe.  I tried frying the rice noodles, but that didn't work, so I just used them as a bed for the main components.  It turned out to be really, really good!

Ingredients
~20 cocktail shrimp, deveined, tails removed, and sliced in half long-ways
Peanut oil for sauteing 
1 tsp minced garlic
Ginger paste (you can find this in the produce section with the fresh herbs)
1/3 cup shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 nectarine, cut into thin strips
4 green onion, chopped
rice noodles
light soy sauce to top/to taste

Heat ~2-3 Tbsp peanut oil in a medium saute pan.  Turn down to med-high heat and saute shrimp, 2 tsp. ginger paste, and minced garlic until browned (~4-5 minutes).  Remove and set aside.  Shrimp will be curled. 

In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary and saute carrots, pepper, 1 tsp. ginger paste for ~3-4 minutes.  Add in the nectarine and green onion and saute for 3-4 minutes more.  Add the shrimp back in to heat through and mix with veggies & fruit, mixing well.  Serve on a bed of rice noodles and season with light soy sauce.
