- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp chili paste or Sriracha (adjust for heat level)

- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili paste, sugar, sesame oil, water, and rice vinegar. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the sauce is simmering, add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat well. Add the shrimp back into the skillet and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp and noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if desired) and garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy garlic shrimp noodles!
Notes
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of chili paste or Sriracha.
- If you prefer, you can swap the shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce or hoisin sauce to your taste for more saltiness or sweetness.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
