- 8 ounces Lo mein noodles
- 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled, deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or canola oil)
- 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 cup Carrots (julienned or thinly sliced)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (sliced into thin strips, any color)

- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Instructions
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Mix well and set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet along with the green onions. Toss to combine.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Use tongs or a spatula to toss everything together, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the noodles, shrimp, and vegetables.
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Stir Fried Shrimp Lo Mein!
