Instructions
PREP
- Clean and peel fresh raw shrimp. Thaw first if using frozen. Tails may be left on or off based on preference. Any size works here; simply adjust the cook time to suit shrimp size.
- Prep veggies. Slice mushrooms. Peel and thinly julienne carrots and thinly slice jalapeno.
- Next mix up the sauce. Combine minced garlic with lemon juice, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk in cornstarch and water and set aside.
TIME TO COOK!
- Cook noodles via package instructions in boiling water. For ramen it's approx. 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- Defrost frozen shelled edamame by adding to a colander and running warm water over them for a couple of minutes. If using whole edamame in the pods cook via favorite method and shell.
- Heat a large wok or skillet to medium-high heat with a tsp or two of oil. Add mushrooms, carrots, edamame, and jalapeno and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add shrimp to the vegetables. Add sauce and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until shrimp are visibly opaque/curled and cooked through and sauce has thickened. Alternatively, if your pan is bit crowded, the shrimp can be cooked on their own in a separate skillet then added to the dish at the end.
- Add noodles and mix well to coat with sauce. Adjust spices/sauce to taste if needed. Top with chopped green onion and/or cilantro and drizzle with sriracha or chili sauce if desired <— always a must for me! Enjoy!
