Healthy, because
The low-carb noodles are made from konjac root. The traditional Japanese pasta has hardly any calories and carbohydrates, but lots of fiber: perfect for fasting and getting full anyway.
Even smarter
You are vegan on the road? No problem either: Simply replace the shrimp with fried tofu cubes or a handful of cashews.
