- Oil – Any oil with a high smoke point will work great for this recipe. We love using vegetable oil, canola oil or coconut oil instead of avocado oil in this recipe.
- Cook Noodles – We recommend cooking the noodles before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Heat Skillet – Heat oil to cook the vegetables until they are tender. Cook the shrimp until they are no longer pink.
- Combining Ingredients – When combining the sauce and the other ingredients make sure you allow the sauce to simmer.
- Prepare Vegetables – If you like to meal prep for the week, we recommend preparing the vegetables. Clean and chop vegetables and store in a air tight container. This way you can easily cook the vegetables for a quick dinner idea.
