Ingredients
- 1 Lb Raw Shrimp peeled, deveined with the tails removed
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 4 cups Coleslaw Mix or finely diced cabbage
- 8 oz Lo Mein Noodles
- ½ Red Bell Pepper sliced
- ¼ tsp Ground Ginger
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they just turn pink and are cooked through. Do not overcook. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
- Add the coleslaw mix and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. If the pan seems dry, add a little more oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the ground ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Toss to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Add the cooked lo mein noodles and gently toss until everything is evenly coated with the sauce and warmed through.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you can't find lo mein noodles, ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet), spaghetti, or linguine work well.
- Pre-cooked shrimp can be used. Add them with the sauce and cook only until heated through.
- For extra vegetables, stir in snow peas, broccoli florets, mushrooms, or shredded carrots.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
