Description

Ingredients

• (1) 8 oz. package lo mein noodles (I found them in the ethnic foods section of our grocery store)
• Juice of 1 large lime, about 2 tablespoons
• 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
• 2 Teaspoons fresh grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled
• 2 cups frozen broccoli florets, not thawed
• 1 cup frozen red bell pepper strips, not thawed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt to taste, if needed (the soy sauce has a lot of sodium, so taste before you add any to the finished product)

Directions

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add in the lo mein noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes, or according to package instructions.
• While you wait for the water to boil, prepare your sauce:
• In a small bowl combine the lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger, and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil; whisk well to combine. Set aside until needed.
• Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add in the crushed red pepper flakes, then pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently and cook for about 3 minutes. Once the egg is done cooking, keep the pan on the burner but transfer eggs to a small plate; set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add in shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or just until firm and pink. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a clean plate; set aside. Add the broccoli and red pepper strips to the pan, increase heat to high, and add in the remaining sesame oil; stir fry until just charred; about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for one minute, or until fragrant.
• Add drained noodles to the skillet along with the cooked egg, shrimp, and prepared sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir well, making sure all ingredients are coated with the sauce. Cook for a minute or so, just to ensure all ingredients have been warmed. Serve at once.
