Let’s Talk Shrimp & Noodles

For this recipe, rice noodles are recommended. Although, this could be made with ramen noodles too! The rice noodles will naturally help make the dish feel a bit lighter, and the ramen noodles will add extra comfort. You really can’t go wrong with either!

When it comes to shrimp, I typically buy mine frozen just because of what I have access to here in NE. Fresh shrimp can get a bit pricey! But, if you find a good deal, go for it! When I can, I try to get the wild caught, tail-on shrimp. I’ve had the best luck finding this at Costco! Larger shrimp look more visually appealing, but small shrimp can be used as well.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

What is so great about creating this sauce at home, is that it’s an easy combination of pantry ingredients that deliver a punch of flavor! Another thing is that you get to control what goes into the sauce. I do highly recommend using low-sodium soy sauce as salt can always be added, but not taken away.

How To Serve

These Better than Take-Out Shrimp & Noodles not only make the perfect weeknight/weekend meal, but they are also made in just 2 pans! That’s right, minimal dishes for you to have to clean afterwards. The rice noodles cook quickly in a pot of boiling water, while the shrimp and veggies sauté in a homemade sauce. Toss everything together in one pan and serve it up family-style, or go the extra mile and use takeout boxes and chop sticks. How fun would that be?! Stay in your PJ’s, put on a good movie and cozy up with your own, homemade takeout Teriyaki Shrimp & Noodles.

If you’re looking for the perfect weeknight meal, then this Better Than Takeout Shrimp & Noodles is it!

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 8 oz snap peas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded carrot
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 8 oz rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the garlic, snap peas and carrot and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add in the shrimp and sauté for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just starting to turn pink.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, green onion and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce into the sauté pan and toss to coat completely. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let simmer for a couple minutes to thicken slightly.
  3. Add in the cooked rice noodles and toss to coat. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This dish is very versatile – chicken, shrimp or sliced steak would all work great! You will need to add additional cooking time if using chicken or steak
  • You can also add other veggies if desired -broccoli and bell peppers would be delicious!
  • Rice noodles or ramen noodles can be used.

    Found the flavor to be very lacking. We ended up adding honey and more teriyaki.
