- 1 8 oz package rice noodles
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 Tbsps lime juice
- 1 Tbsp garlic paste or minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp ginger paste or minced ginger
- 5 Tbsps garlic chili oil (I used Lee Kum Kee found in the Asian section of the grocery store)
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 Tbsps sesame oil or vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 large carrot grated
- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
- 1 bunch green onions sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
-
Prepare the rice noodles according to package directions and set aside.
Note: The noodles I used had directions to soak in hot water for 8-10 minutes. I rinsed with cold water afterward to stop them from getting mushy.
-
In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and 4 Tbsps of the garlic chili oil.
-
Toss the shrimp with remaining 1 Tbsp of the garlic chili oil. Set a large skillet or wok over medium high heat and add 1 Tbsp of the sesame or vegetable oil. Cook the shrimp 2-3 minutes, remove from skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet over medium high heat add the remaining 1 Tbsp sesame or vegetable oil, sliced bell pepper, grated carrots and cook 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the cilantro, sliced green onions, the prepared rice noodles, and the peanut sauce. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring and tossing everything together. Add the cooked shrimp and toss one more minute.

Serve with chopped peanuts over top.
