Garlic Noodles With Shrimp

Garlic Noodles with Shrimp is a delicious dish that combines the rich, savory flavors of Vietnamese-style garlic noodles with succulent, perfectly cooked shrimp! Vietnamese-style garlic noodles, invented in San Francisco, are typically egg or wheat noodles tossed in a buttery garlic sauce, often enhanced with a hint of soy or oyster sauce, creating a mouthwatering umami taste. The shrimp are stir-fried until tender and juicy, then mixed with the noodles to absorb the sauce's flavors. For more of Sarah’s culinary creations, follow her @groovyfoodiess on Instagram.

   In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.

   In a hot wok, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add in the scallions, garlic, and shallots. Stir fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.

   Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and fish sauce.
