This Spicy Shrimp Lo Mein is a quick and easy recipe that’s even better than takeout! Egg noodles, shrimp, and spicy sauce come together in one pan, giving you a dinner or lunch with plenty of flair.
Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
In a pot on the stove, cook noodles per package instructions (mine cooked for 3 to 5 minutes). Drain well, then toss the noodles in a bowl with half of the sauce and half of the green onions. Set aside.
Peel the shrimp and pat them dry. Sauté over medium-high heat in a pan with olive oil. Cook until they turn pink on one side (1 to 2 minutes), then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rest of the sauce into the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the noodles to the pan with shrimp and toss them together. Then plate in a bowl, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and the remaining green onions. Add any additional spice with chili oil crunch if needed.
