    • Sesame Shrimp Noodles

    You know what’s even better than a recipe that takes all of three steps and is a one bowl plate of flavor-packed shrimp and noodle deliciousness?

    That same recipe taking you about twenty short minutes from walking into your kitchen to sitting down to this plate of seafood heaven. Honestly, the longest part is getting the various ingredients out of your pantry and fridge.

    And what a handsome line-up of ingredients they are!

    ingredients you need to make this recipe

    sesame shrimp noodles ingredients

    ingredient notes and substitutions

    • Shrimp: We like large or extra large shrimp for this recipe. If you want to save even more time, you can usually get them already peeled and deveined at your friendly neighborhood seafood counter.
    • Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar, Hot Chili Oil, Soy Sauce: All of these can usually be found in the international aisle of your supermarket. Pro tip: always go for low sodium soy sauce…you can always add salt if you need it, but you can’t take it out. (I speak from experience!)
    • Pasta: We like a nice long pasta for this dish, and usually use linguine, but spaghetti will work just as well, as will udon noodles.
    • Scallions: If you can’t find these in your produce section, a peeled and chopped shallot will work just as well.

    here’s how to make this recipe

    (Scroll down for the handy complete printable recipe with nutrition info!)

    STEP ONE: Whisk all the ingredients except for the pasta and the scallions in a mixing bowl.

    Step 1 sesame shrimp noodles

    STEP TWO: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the shrimp for two to three minutes. Scoop them out, set them aside and cook the pasta according to package directions. When the pasta is done, drain and add it to the sauce along with the cooked shrimp.

    Step 2 sesame shrimp noodles

    STEP 3: Give it all a toss with some tongs, divide it among plates and serve it up! If you have leftover sauce in the bowl, drizzle it over the top of each serving…you don’t want to waste a drop!

    recipe FAQ

    How do I peel and devein shrimp?

    Now, you don’t HAVE to take the vein (that dark line up the back of the shrimp) out, but lots of folks prefer their shrimpies that way. Pull off the shell by wiggling it apart at the bottom of the shrimp. Once the shell is off, cut a shallow line along the top of the shrimp where the vein is, pull it out with the tip of the knife and…you’re done! Put the shrimp shells in a zippered plastic bag when you toss them out, because if they sit in your trash can for more than a few hours…well, I’ll let you use your imagination

    Will the hot chili oil make this really spicy?

    Nope! I am the biggest spice wimp in the world, and even I appreciate the teeny bit of naughty heat this oil contributes. And of course if you like things super spicy, drizzle in a little more!

    Can I leave out the sugar?

    You really do need it…with all the salty things going on, the sugar provides a nice balance to the flavor.

    I don’t love seafood – can I substitute something else?

    Shredded chicken, sliced steak and chopped tofu are all wonderful in this dish. Honestly, the noodles all by themselves are pretty perfect.

    Have a question that I didn’t cover?

    Pop your question in the comments and I promise to answer pronto!

    want to round out your meal?

    While this makes a lovely dinner all on its delicious own, when we are extra hungry we like this chilled sesame spinach on the side to add to the overall sesame vibe. We’d also never say no to some easy grilled flatbread to soak up all the sauce.

    And for dessert? An easy breezy strawberry banana sorbet is just the ticket!

    Notes

    Pasta: We like linguine for this recipe, but spaghetti or even fettuccine will work as well.

    Shrimp: We use large or extra large shrimp for this recipe.  You can either shell them yourselves, or some seafood departments in your grocery store offer them already shelled.

    Soy Sauce: We HIGHLY recommend low sodium soy sauce.  You can always add extra salt if you think it the sauce needs it.

      hi!
      do you have a brand of chili oil that you love? a lot of oils have chili crisp in them, and i’d prefer to get a pure oil.
