How to Make Shrimp Lo Mein
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the julienned carrots and snap peas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet, along with the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and toss in the sliced green onions just before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to not overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and firm.
- Use a high-quality soy sauce for deeper flavor.
- Feel free to substitute the vegetables based on what you have available—bell peppers, broccoli, or bok choy all work well.
- For added heat, include a splash of chili oil or some crushed red pepper flakes.
Easy Variations
- For a vegetarian option, replace shrimp with tofu or tempeh.
- Add a scrambled egg for extra protein and richness.
- Incorporate different sauces like teriyaki or hoisin for a unique twist.
What to Serve With It
- A side of steamed edamame for a healthy snack.
- Egg rolls or spring rolls for a crunchy accompaniment.
- A simple cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar for a refreshing contrast.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply toss in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water or soy sauce if needed to keep the noodles moist.
