Method
 

Preparation
  1. Have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
  5. In the same pan, toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the veggies are bright and tender-crisp.
  6. Cook the edamame noodles according to package directions, then drain well.
  7. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, add the drained edamame noodles, soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything thoroughly to coat.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, adjusting flavor with more soy sauce or sesame oil if desired.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the shrimp in a bit of soy sauce while you prep your veggies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
