Who says you can't do date night on a Tuesday? This elegant entree is perfectly portioned to serve two. If you can't find lamb loin chops, you can substitute 2 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks.

If you have trouble finding shiitake mushrooms, use whatever 'shrooms you have on hand. Sliced creminis would work equally well for this saucy noodle bowl.

Sweet shrimp is ideal for spicy dishes like this. If you want just a light lick of heat, use 1/4 teaspoon red pepper. If you prefer more fire, go for 1/2 teaspoon (or more).

Don't knock it 'til you try it. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tahini from making a batch of hummus.
