Ingredients

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 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 sesame 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. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the snap peas, bell pepper, and shredded carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, and oyster sauce (if using). Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in the sliced green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should just turn pink and opaque.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bok choy, mushrooms, or broccoli for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Use fresh or frozen shrimp, but make sure they are fully thawed before cooking.

Easy Variations

  • Swap shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha to the sauce.
  • Substitute rice noodles if you prefer a gluten-free option.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed dumplings for an appetizer
  • A light cucumber salad
  • Egg rolls for a crunchy side
  • Hot and sour soup for a warming starter

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to prevent sticking.
