Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Starches:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) rice noodles
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare rice noodles following package directions, then drain and reserve.
- Warm sesame oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat, carefully sautéing shrimp until they transform into a vibrant pink, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce bell peppers, snap peas, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger into the skillet, allowing ingredients to meld and soften for 2-3 minutes.
- Drizzle soy sauce across the skillet, gently folding in the reserved noodles and ensuring even coating and heating for 2 minutes.
- Calibrate seasoning with salt and pepper, creating a balanced flavor profile.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions, providing a crisp, aromatic finish to the dish.
- Transfer to serving plates, ensuring each portion captures the vibrant mix of proteins, vegetables, and noodles.
Notes
- Swap rice noodles with zucchini noodles for a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that keeps the dish light and nutritious.
- Marinate shrimp in lime juice and chili flakes beforehand to infuse extra tangy and spicy flavors into the protein.
- Use frozen vegetables if fresh aren’t available, but quickly thaw and pat dry to prevent watery texture in the final dish.
- For a vegetarian version, replace shrimp with tofu or tempeh, pressing out excess moisture to ensure crispy edges during cooking.
