Ingredients

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp 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, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the cooked lo mein noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce (if using). Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be just opaque and tender.
  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to add a splash of chili sauce if you like some heat!

Easy Variations

  • Substitute shrimp with chicken, beef, or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Add other vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or carrots based on your preference.
  • Switch up the sauce with teriyaki or hoisin for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed edamame for a crunchy side.
  • A simple cucumber salad with rice vinegar.
  • Egg rolls or spring rolls for a delightful appetizer.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. You can also microwave in short intervals, stirring often.
