Ingredients

  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry with paper towels. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook without stirring until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until pink and opaque, another 1-2 minutes. Remove shrimp to a plate.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 3 tbsp soy sauce to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the cooked noodles and 2 sliced green onions. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
