• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 250 g Noodles (egg or your choice)
• 6 Scallions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry and seasoning with salt, pepper, and tossing with cornstarch to evenly coat. Set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and chicken broth to create the lemon sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the scallions to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until they soften slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked noodles, tossing them in the scallion mixture. Drizzle in the prepared lemon sauce and toss well to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently fold them into the noodle mixture. Drizzle with sesame oil for added flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with optional sesame seeds if desired.
