Ingredients List
- (1) 8 oz. package lo mein noodles (I found them in the ethnic foods section of our grocery store)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled
- 1 medium zucchini, cut in half vertically, then cut into half moon shapes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 green onions, sliced thinly
- Salt to taste, if needed (the soy sauce has a lot of sodium, so taste before you add any to the finished product)
Directions
Begin a large pot of salted water to boil. Once the water reaches a full boil, add the noodles and cook according to the package directions (about 4-5 minutes).
While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the spicy sriracha sauce. In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger, and sesame oil.
In a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Add the crushed red pepper to the butter, and once it's completely melted whisk in the 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 oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or just until firm and bright pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a clean plate; set aside. Add zucchini to the pan, increase heat to high, and remaining oil; stir fry until just charred; about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for one minute.
Add drained noodles to the skillet along with the cooked egg, shrimp, and prepared sauce. Turn the heat on to medium-low, and stir until everything is coated well with the sauce. Sprinkle the sliced green onions and cilantro and serve at once!
