Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 0.5 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 12 oz spaghetti or thin egg noodles
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the shrimp to this marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat them dry. Lightly coat the shrimp with the vegetable oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked noodles with the prepared orange sesame sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the noodles and top with the grilled shrimp. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Orange Sesame Noodles with Grilled Shrimp!
