Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces high-protein noodles (whole wheat, edamame, or chickpea noodles)

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup snow peas

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Extras for Flavor & Texture

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts or cashews (optional, for crunch)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: In a large pan or wok, bring water to a boil and cook the high-protein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Toss in the snow peas for the last minute of cooking.
  4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked noodles and shrimp back into the pan. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and toss until everything is well coated.
  5. Serve & Garnish: Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, and crushed nuts. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use shrimp that are already peeled and deveined to save prep time.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha or red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute tofu for shrimp and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Serving with high-protein noodles boosts the overall protein content.
  • Be sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
