Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb noodles any work but I like to use fettuccine or spaghetti
  • 1 cup snap peas trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 carrot peeled and cut into strips
  • 1 bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1-2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • ginger grated
  • green onions thinly sliced for garnish
  • Cooking oil
  • salt and pepper

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter team chunky but smooth works (can also use cashew, almond or any other nut butter)
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1-2 tsp chili oil or sriracha
  • 1/2 inch piece of ginger grated
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil such as vegetable or avocado
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic thinly sliced

Instructions

Prep

  • Bring a large pot of water to the stove and begin bringing to a boil. Lay out the shrimp on a paper towel to ensure it is nice and dry.
  • Chop up all of your vegetables, and use a mandoline to slice the shallot and garlic.

Make the Sauce

  • In a heat-safe medium bowl combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, grated ginger, and honey. Stir well until well incorporated.
  • In a small pot, begin heating the neutral oil. Once hot, add the thinly sliced garlic and shallot and cook until lightly golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate. Pour the hot oil into the peanut butter mixture and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference!

Begin cooking the Noodles and Stir Frying

  • Add the noodles to the pot to begin cooking according to package directions.
  • In a saute pan over medium heat, add a touch of oil. Add in the veggies, and begin tossing to coat in oil. Add in the sliced garlic, a splash of soy sauce, and some grated ginger. Saute until the veggies are heated through and have just begun to slightly soften. Remove the veggies onto a plate.
  • In the same pan, add a touch more oil and then begin searing the shrimp. Cook for 1-3 minutes per side, flip, add some soy sauce, toss, and remove from the heat once opaque.

Toss and Assemble

  • Reserve the cooking water, strain the noodles, and then toss with the peanut sauce. Add in a splash of the cooking water as necessary to well coat the noodles.
  • Assemble your plate by placing down the noodles and then topping with the stir-fried veggies, and shrimp, garnish with the fried garlic & shallot, and green onions.
