After years of trying to perfect my Garlic Shrimp Noodles, this is the recipe! I love making this at home and I know you will, too!

Ingredient Tips for Garlic Shrimp Noodles

• NOODLES – I used Shanghai noodles from the brand ‘Golden World Shanghai’, which I got from the refrigerated section of 99 Ranch! I’m including a photo of the packaging below so you can easily identify it, if you have a 99 Ranch near you. These are one of my favorite noodles, so I hope you can find them – but if you cannot, you can sub with another long noodle of your choice.
• SHRIMP – Marinating the shrimp is a KEY TIP – the salt will help keep the shrimp moist, while the baking soda helps the shrimp maintain a firm texture. This little trick makes a huge difference in how your shrimp tastes in the finished dish, so I highly recommend you do not skip this!
• MSG – As always, this is optional.
• WHITE PEPPER – I get asked all the time if you can sub black pepper for white pepper – and my answer is, it depends BUT you need to watch the ratio. White pepper has a milder flavor profile than black pepper, so it’s a 1-1 substitute. I would start with less black pepper and add as you go. (But really, you should have white pepper in your pantry! It’s a staple in mine!)
• BUTTER – Good quality un-salted butter is a staple in my kitchen – my favorite brand is Kerrygold! I buy mine in bulk from Costco, as butter keeps in the freezer up to 5 months.
• SRIRACHA – If you are sensitive to spice, you can halve this or even skip it altogether and substitute with ketchup instead!
