Description
A fast, satisfying weeknight meal featuring shrimp and high-protein noodles, balanced with crisp veggies and a savory soy-ginger finish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces high-protein noodles (edamame or similar)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Green onions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the high-protein noodles according to package directions. Drain, toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
- Warm a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat.
- Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Add shrimp in a single layer. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp to a plate.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return shrimp to the pan along with cooked noodles. Pour in soy sauce and toss briefly to coat everything evenly.
- Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice for brightness if desired.
- Plate hot and garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
For nuttier flavor, swap half of the olive oil for sesame oil at the end. If you prefer more sauce, mix 1 tablespoon water with an extra tablespoon soy sauce.
