  • Cook vegetables according to package.

  • Heat sesame oil in pan over med-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 min on each side. Remove from pan on to plate, cover to keep warm.

  • Right before you're ready to plate, heat sauce in microwave for 3 min or on stove top until it has thickened. Add more water as needed to thin if it gets too thick.

  • Plate noodles, veggies, shrimp, pour sauce over top and garnish with sesame seeds, green onions and extra hot sauce.


Notes:
