Ingredients
- 500 g Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 250 g Noodles (egg or your choice)
- 6 Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 100 ml Chicken broth (or water)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil

Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry and seasoning with salt, pepper, and tossing with cornstarch to evenly coat. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and chicken broth to create the lemon sauce. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the scallions to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until they soften slightly.
Stir in the cooked noodles, tossing them in the scallion mixture. Drizzle in the prepared lemon sauce and toss well to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently fold them into the noodle mixture. Drizzle with sesame oil for added flavor.
Serve warm, garnished with optional sesame seeds if desired.
