  • ½ teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger Powder (or grated fresh ginger if you have it on hand)
  • pinch of Crushed Red Pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (use a neutral (flavorless) oil with a high smoke point)
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions (thinly sliced, plus more for garnish, if desired)

  • 1 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Oil

  • pinch of Crushed Red Pepper (optional)
  • 16 ounce Noodles (we used linguine in this dish)

  • Sesame Seeds for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, ginger powder, and crushed red pepper, if using, to a large bowl. Stir the sauce with a fork to combine well, add the shrimp to the bowl and toss well. Refrigerate the shrimp if not using immediately.

  2. 2

    To a medium bowl, add the soy sauce, canola oil, green onions, garlic, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, ginger powder and crushed red pepper, if using. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and raise the heat. When the shrimp starts sizzling, lower the heat to medium to medium-high. Cook the shrimp, stirring and turning them frequently for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
