A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining shrimp and noodles with a savory Asian-inspired sauce.
Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain and place them in a large bowl.
Rinse the noodles with cold water after draining to prevent them from sticking together.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, olive oil, and lime juice to create the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference before mixing it with the noodles.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic and ginger in olive oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Ensure the shrimp are evenly spread out in the skillet for uniform cooking.
Combine the cooked shrimp, sauce, green onions, water chestnuts, and cilantro with the noodles in the large bowl. Toss well to mix.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
Serve the dish in a serving dish and garnish with roasted peanuts.
Add a wedge of lime on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
