Mie chinese noodles with vegetables and shrimp

Very easy and fast.

What you'll need:

- mie chinese noodles (or other noodles or any pasta)
- medium size shrimp (I bought mine frozen)
- 2 green onions (cebolinho, in Portuguese)
- 1/2 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small red pepper
- 1/2 tomato
- 1 thai chilli  (it was really spicy! add only 1/2 if you don't like spicy food; if no thai chilli is available add 1 small malagueta - Portuguese chilli)
- black olives
- salt, pepper, paprika

How to do it:

Boil the mie noodles in water with salt for 10 min. Separate the noodles with a fork and cook for 5 more minutes or until the pasta has the consistency you desire (I like mine well done). 
Cut all the vegetables in small pieces. Smash the garlic cloves. Put a bit of olive oil in a wok, add the shrimp and fry for a while. Add the vegetables and the spices and cover. Cook for 10 - 15 min until the vegetables are soft. Add the noodles and mix everything. Decorate with black olives.
