Spicy Sriracha Shrimp Lo Mein

11 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Good enough for company, but quick enough for weeknight, Spicy Sriracha Shrimp Lo Mein is delicious and ready in under 30 minutes.

Hot sauce is royalty in the condiment world right now and Sriracha is the king. This flavorful Spicy Sriracha Shrimp Lo Mein is fit to serve for company, but can be made any weeknight in less than 30 minutes. Fresh zucchini is prevalent now and pairs well with the shrimp. If you’re not growing your own, I’m sure a neighbor would be glad to get rid of gift you with more than you’ll need for this recipe many times over.

The sauce is simple yet pungent with Sriracha, brown sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger and sesame oil. Simple ingredients of classic Lo Mein noodles (find these in your Asian aisle in the grocery store), garlic, zucchini and soft-scrambled eggs are all you need to add to the shrimp. But if you want to amp it up, add some roasted tomatoes, mung bean sprouts or Napa cabbage. If you do add more ingredients, you’d be well advised to double the sauce. Good-quality, fresh shrimp is key in the recipe. To be sure your shrimp is not old, ask to smell it before the fish-monger or butcher wraps it up. If it smells “fishy”, take a pass.

Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped scallions and a little cilantro for added bite and color. A fresh squeeze of lime adds tang.The Sriracha sauce is spicy, but not overpowering. This would be delicious with just the sauce and noodles for a nice side dish to any Asian-inspired meal.

For another great meal featuring the Sriracha “rooster sauce”, try my Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce recipe.

Spicy Sriracha Shrimp Lo Mein

Use fresh shrimp in the recipe for ultimate success. For even more flavor, add bean sprouts and Napa cabbage at the same time you cook the zucchini. If adding extra ingredients, double the sauce. Important note: If you are doubling the sauce, do NOT double the Sriracha. A little goes a very long way here. For those who want it really spicy, they can add more hot sauce after plating.

Ingredients 

  • 1- 8 oz. package Lo Mein noodles

For the Spicy Sriracha Sauce:

  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce, depending on desired heat
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ½ pound medium uncooked shrimp, more to your liking
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut in half vertically, then cut into half moon shapes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stems green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • handful cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges for squeezing over pasta at table

Cook's Note:

  • Ingredient variables, add whatever you like. One favorite combo is to omit the egg and zucchini and replace them with mushrooms, Napa cabbage and bean sprouts.

Instructions

  • Begin a large pot of salted water to boil. Once the water reaches a full boil, add 8 ounces noodles and cook according to the package directions (about 4-5 minutes).
  • While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the spicy sriracha sauce. In a small bowl, stir together 1 Tablespoon brown sugar, 2 ½ Tablespoons soy sauce, 1-2 Tablespoons Sriracha, 1 teaspoon ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1 Tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper to the butter, and once it's completely melted whisk in 2 eggs. Stir gently and cook for about 3 minutes. Once the eggs are done cooking, transfer eggs to a small plate; set aside.
  • Add 1 Tablespoon oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add ½ pound shrimp or more and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or just until firm and bright pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a clean plate; set aside.
  • Add 1 zucchini to the pan, increase heat to high, and remaining 1 Tablespoon oil; stir fry until just charred; about 3 minutes. Stir in 3 minced garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Add drained noodles to the skillet along with the cooked egg, shrimp, and prepared sauce. Turn the heat on to medium-low, and stir until everything is coated well with the sauce. Sprinkle 3 sliced green onions and handful chopped cilantro and serve immediately, served with wedges of lime.

    I made this at the request of my 10 year old daughter (she loves Lo Mein) and it was awesome! I followed the recipe to the T, and sprinkled toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.

    Trying to clean out fridge, so I sliced up celery, mushrooms, and a sweet onion instead of the zucchini! Love the crunchiness that the celery gave this recipe! I like more sauce, so with more veggies, I tripled the sauce. Yummy!

    This recipe was amazing! I doubled the sauce because we like our dishes with more sauce, but it wasn’t runny or too much. Very similar to Pad Thai, only better! A bit spicy for our daughter, but she tried it! My husband and I loved it. Added bonus of daughter not eating much… lunch the next day!! (Like most pastas, tasted great on day 2!! the flavors had really absorbed into the lo mien noodles!) I will definitely make this again! I want to add mushrooms next time with sprouts. Thanks, Good Dinner Mom!!

    My boyfriend surprised me and made this recipe for dinner last night. It was amazing! We both loved it. Definitely on the spicy side for any of those who are sensitive to heat. We will be making this again soon!
