Chow mein is always my love because of its simplicity and yummy.

But this version is a little bit time-consuming since I use fresh shrimp and then peel the shell by hand.

You can use frozen prawn to save the time.

If you not love roasted peanuts, you can skip it.

If you do not like shrimp or just cannot eat it, you can use chicken to replace it.
