Ingredients for Asian Noodles With Shrimp

  • 1 cup water
  • Light Coconut Milk
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • Medium Raw Shrimp
  • Ramen Noodles
  • 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

How to Make Asian Noodles With Shrimp

  1. Prepare ingredients: Thinly slice carrots and onion. Trim snow peas. Rinse rice noodles if needed.
  2. Bring coconut milk, water, carrots, and onion to a boil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add rice noodles to the skillet and stir well to combine with the coconut milk and vegetables. Pour in about 1/2 cup of water if the noodles seem too dry.
  5. Add snow peas and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the snow peas are bright green.
  6. Stir in the cooked shrimp, ramen seasoning, cilantro, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
