INSPIRED BY

This is built for that road-trip takeout craving, but made at home with a skillet and a little swagger.

Story

This is the kind of dinner you would crush after a long drive, parked under a neon sign with steam fogging the windows. We are talking shrimp that gets seared fast, ramen that soaks up sauce like a champ, and crunchy snap peas so it still feels fresh. Toss it hard, get it glossy, and eat it while it is hot, loud, and a little messy.

Ingredients

2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons neutral oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups snap peas
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Sesame seeds and sliced scallions, for serving

Instructions

Boil ramen noodles just until tender, then drain and rinse quickly under cool water.
Whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and cook shrimp until pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Add garlic and ginger, stir for 20 seconds, then add snap peas and bell pepper.
Pour in the sauce and toss, then add noodles and stir until glossy and hot.
Serve right away topped with sesame seeds and scallions for a loaded bowl vibe.

Chef Tips

Do not overcook the shrimp, pull them as soon as they turn pink.
Rinsing the noodles keeps them from clumping while you finish the stir-fry.
Add chili crisp or sriracha at the table if you want it spicier.

Cook's Notes

**Noodle choice:** Any quick ramen works, just skip the seasoning packets.
**Veg swap:** Broccoli slaw or shredded cabbage cooks in a minute and is great here.
**Sauce control:** Start with half the sauce, then add more if you want it saucier.
