Ingredients

• 8 ounces lo mein noodles
• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Shrimp Lo Mein

1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked lo mein noodles. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
7. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your taste preference.
• For a spicy kick, add a dash of chili sauce or crushed red pepper flakes.
