Can I use frozen shrimp instead of fresh?

Yes. Thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat dry with paper towels before pan-searing to ensure even browning and avoid excess moisture.

How do I prevent the noodles from getting mushy?

Cook the ramen noodles just until tender (follow package directions), then rinse briefly with cold water and drain well before tossing with other ingredients.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Cook all components separately and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, then quickly reheat and toss together just before serving to maintain texture.

What can I substitute for bean sprouts?

Use sliced cabbage, snap peas, water chestnuts, or additional carrots for similar crunch and freshness.

How do I know when the shrimp is done?

Shrimp is fully cooked when it turns opaque and forms a loose C-shape, typically 2-3 minutes per side depending on size.

Instructions

1
Clean the shrimp and season with 1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, complete seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the frozen peas, carrots, and bean sprouts. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender.

Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and the sesame oil.

Add the drained noodles to the skillet. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, ground white pepper, ground ginger, and soy sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles.
