Spicy Shrimp Peanut Noodles
There are so many recipe variations of peanut noodles, but these Spicy Shrimp Peanut Noodles are one of my favorites.
Peanut noodles are my version of comfort food for sure.
An ingredient that makes them extra special is this garlic chili oil.
It’s easily found in the Asian section of the grocery store.
Be sure to shake it up because the chilis will settle at the bottom of the jar.
How to make Spicy Shrimp Peanut Noodles
Making sure you have the sauce made and noodles prepared ahead of time is key.
Once you start cooking, this dish goes pretty fast.
These noodles soak in hot water for 8 minutes.
Then rinse with cold water to prevent them from getting mushy.
And the sauce…oh this insanely yummy sauce…is a mixture of soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and the chili garlic oil.
Toss some shrimp with more of the chili garlic oil as well.
Veggies for this dish I kept pretty simple.
A grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, sliced green onions (I sliced them fairly thick), and chopped cilantro.
Now that everything is prepped and ready to go, we cook đŸ™‚
The shrimp go first into a skillet or wok over medium high heat.
Literally 2 to 3 minutes and they are done.
The carrot and pepper go in next for a few minutes, then everyone else joins the party…
The green onion, cilantro, cooked rice noodles, and the sauce.
Toss it all together with some tongs and then add the shrimp.
Serve these Spicy Shrimp Peanut Noodles with chopped peanuts over top for some added peanuty-ness and crunch.
If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, they are SO good the next day!
