Garlic Shrimp Fried Noodles

Why you'll love this recipe

  • Garlic Lover’s Dream: This recipe uses a generous amount of garlic that caramelizes in the oil, coating every noodle in fragrance.
  • Quick Cooking: Shrimp and thin noodles cook in minutes, making this a perfect 15-minute dinner solution.
  • Elegant but Simple: It looks and tastes like a restaurant specialty but uses basic ingredients you likely already have.

Key Ingredients

  • Large Shrimp: Provide a sweet, succulent bite that pairs perfectly with the punchy garlic.
  • Fresh Garlic: Minced finely to ensure it distributes into every corner of the stir-fry.
  • Soy Sauce & Oyster Sauce: A classic combination that provides saltiness, sweetness, and that essential umami depth.

✅Quick Tips: Do not overcook the shrimp; as soon as they turn pink and opaque, they are done. Overcooking leads to a rubbery texture.

Key Steps

  • Step 1: Sear the shrimp in a hot wok until pink, then remove to prevent overcooking.
  • Step 2: Sauté a large amount of minced garlic until fragrant but not burnt.
  • Step 3: Add the noodles and sauce, stir-frying quickly on high heat to combine.
