Ingredients
Produce
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 8 oz snap peas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
Seafood
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
Pantry
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 oz rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables and shrimp: In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic, snap peas, and shredded carrot, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the shrimp and continue sautéing for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just turning pink and cooked through.
- Prepare and add the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, chopped green onion, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture into the sauté pan with the shrimp and vegetables. Toss everything to coat evenly, then bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for a couple of minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Toss with noodles and serve: Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan and toss well to ensure they are fully coated in the sauce and combined with the shrimp and vegetables. Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels in the dish.
- Rice noodles should be cooked according to package instructions before adding to the pan.
- Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- For extra flavor, garnish with sesame seeds or additional green onions before serving.
- This dish is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
