Shrimp
- Fresh or peeled frozen shrimp, deveined (about 12 oz)
Vegetables
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 carrot, julienned or sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
Noodles
- 6 oz egg noodles or rice noodles
Sauce & Aromatics
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil, plus more for garnish
- Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Garnish
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if needed. Chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Cook the Shrimp: Add shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and curled. Remove from pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Stir Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add chopped vegetables. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Return shrimp to the pan with vegetables. Add cooked noodles and pour the soy sauce mixture (soy sauce, honey, and optional red pepper flakes) over everything. Toss to coat and heat for another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use high heat to quickly sear ingredients and keep vegetables crisp.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook shrimp and vegetables in batches if needed for even cooking.
- Prep all ingredients before starting since stir frying cooks quickly.
- Adjust soy sauce and sweetener to your taste for balanced saltiness and sweetness.
- Fresh noodles yield best texture, but dried noodles work well too.
