Stir-Fried Shrimp with Chili and Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 ounces rice noodles
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 whole lime, juiced
• 3 whole green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the 8 oz rice noodles in hot water until pliable, about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the 1 lb shrimp and stir-fry until pink and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp to a plate.

3. 3

   Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp chili flakes to the hot pan. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Add the drained noodles, 2 tbsp fish sauce, and juice of 1 lime to the pan. Toss everything together over high heat for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are well coated and heated through.

5. 5

   Return the shrimp to the pan along with the 3 sliced green onions. Toss for 1 minute until everything is combined and the shrimp are warmed through.

6. 6

   Serve immediately, topped with crushed peanuts and fresh bean sprouts if you have them, with extra lime wedges on the side.
