  • Customizable: Use any vegetables you have on hand.
  • Healthy Option: Loaded with protein and nutrients.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Shrimp Lo Mein

  1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in the julienned carrots and snap peas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
