Recipe Overview
Before you get started
Here are some tips you should keep in mind if making this dish so you can make them perfectly each time.
- Use any noodles of your choice. You can use whole-grain noodles or a high-protein option like lentil or chickpea noodles.
- Cook the pasta al dente so it doesn’t come out mushy.
- Raw shrimp works best. Get them fresh or frozen. You can buy them peeled and deveined.
- If you like a little crunch to your veggies, do not overcook them.
- Toss in any other veggies that you may like. Zucchini would be great.
- Try not to overcook the shrimp. It will turn rubbery
Ingredients needed and substitutions
Here are the ingredients I used to make this shrimp stir-fry noodle dish. Full measurements are listed further down below in the recipe card.
- Shrimp: Get peeled and deveined shrimp. Raw shrimp works best. If you do not like shrimp, you can use beef or chicken.
- Oil: You will need Olive Oil or peanut oil, and sesame oil
- Garlic Cloves: Fresh garlic will give you the best flavor if you want to make the most out of this dish. But if in a pinch, use garlic powder.
- Veggies: I used Carrot, Bell Pepper, Broccoli Florets, and Green Onions
- Spaghetti Noodles: Whole-grain or lentil spaghetti are great options. You may also use lentil or chickpea noodles.
- Toasted Sesame Seeds to garnish: so this could be optional if you don’t have it.
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Freshly Grated Ginger: I love the flavor fresh ginger will give. You can manage with ginger powder if you do not have any fresh handy.
- Honey or agave: This addition balances out everything. Brown sugar will work too. No maple syrup.
- Soy sauce or coconut amino
- Orange Juice: Just use one orange (squeezed)- or if in a pinch, use bottled orange juice.
- Hoisin Sauce: Adds an umami flavor. A must.
- Chili Flakes: can be optional.

Common Questions
This shrimp stir-fry noodle recipe will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
Yes. If you have leftovers, you can place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze them for up to 2 months.
To make this a low-carb meal. I recommend using zucchini noodles instead of whole-grain noodles. There are some low-carb noodle options out there as well that you can use.
Don’t like shrimp or have it on hand? You can use beef or chicken instead. Even salmon bites will work.

Perfect, light recipe, yet flavorful. I used Oyster sauce because I was out of Marin. This recipe is perfect
Thanks Nancy. Glad you liked it.
I bought Hokkien stir-fry noodles, it appears they are cooked. Do I do the veggies, shrimp, and then add the noodles for tossing?
Yes. That sounds like it. I am not familiar with that noodle Read the package directions and see what they recommend—heating it? Soaking in hot water? but I agree with your thoughts on adding it at the end and tossing it.
Awesome delicious

I made this for my family of 6 tonight. I doubled the recipe and used rice noodles for a more authentic Thai texture. It was incredible. All of my kids loved it. I can’t wait to eat it leftover at work tomorrow night!
Thank you, Amanda. Glad the kiddos loved it. That’s a win right there!

I made the recipe exactly as printed but forgot the green onions. It was amazing, my husband loved the “heat” of the red pepper flakes. I will definitely make again and try to remember the green onions.
Oh, awesome! So glad you liked it. Thanks for the positive feedback.
Came out awesome, I did cut back on the sauce slightly to keep caloric count down, very flavorful
Thanks, Mike

Delicious, the pasta was a nice break from rice. I didn’t have orange juice on hand this time, but used lime juice to taste. I’ll keep this recipe, for sure!
So glad you liked it.
