Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse under cold water, drain, and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets along with 1-2 tablespoons of water. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, shrimp, broccoli, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for garnish and serve the noodle salad immediately, either warm or at room temperature.
