Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the almonds. Stir frequently and cook until you start to smell them, about 3-4 minutes. While the water is close to coming to a boil, heat EVOO in large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add shrimp and cook for about 1 minute. Add peppers, scallions and garlic, and cook about 3 minutes more.

Ingredients

* 1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds

* 1 pound fideos or very thin egg noodles

* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
