Garlic Noodles With Shrimp

Garlic Noodles with Shrimp is a delicious dish that combines the rich, savory flavors of Vietnamese-style garlic noodles with succulent, perfectly cooked shrimp! Vietnamese-style garlic noodles, invented in San Francisco, are typically egg or wheat noodles tossed in a buttery garlic sauce, often enhanced with a hint of soy or oyster sauce, creating a mouthwatering umami taste. The shrimp are stir-fried until tender and juicy, then mixed with the noodles to absorb the sauce's flavors. For more of Sarah’s culinary creations, follow her @groovyfoodiess on Instagram.

Preparation

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Save ¼ cup (60 ml) of pasta water, then drain.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  3. In a hot wok, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add in the scallions, garlic, and shallots. Stir fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add in the shrimp, and stir fry, until pink and opaque, about 4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and fish sauce.
  6. Toss in the cooked spaghetti. Mix until well coated. If the sauce seems dry, add the pasta water as needed until the desired consistency is reached. Top with shaved Parmesan.
  7. Enjoy!
