Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 oz. dry egg noodles or ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
8 oz. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
½ red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
4 c. coleslaw mix or finely sliced cabbage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
SAUCE:
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp brown sugar

How to make Shrimp Lo Mein
Step 1: Place the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2: Following the package directions, cook the noodles until al dente. Drain when done.
Step 3: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp starts to turn pink. Set the shrimp aside when done.
Step 4: If needed, add more oil to the pan. Add the coleslaw mix along with the bell pepper. Stir fry for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the bell peppers start to soften. Next, add the ginger along with garlic and continue to cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 5: Return the shrimp to the pan and pour in the sauce. Cook for additional 2 minutes or until the shrimp is completely cooked. Then, toss in the noodles.
Step 6: Remove from the heat and serve the Shrimp Lo Mein right away. Enjoy!
