Spicy Shrimp Udon

Spicy Shrimp Udon- large, succulent shrimp, cabbage, oodles of noodles, and a richly flavored sauce with plenty of spice make this dish a fan favorite.

Udon noodles are my favorite type of noodle to order at Asian restaurants. I love the soft, chewy texture of these thick noodles. Recently I discovered my local Publix has fresh udon noodles in the produce section. You just drop them in boiling water for a few minutes and they are ready. So easy to add to stir-fries.

How To Make Spicy Shrimp Udon

First you’ll cook and drain the noodles. Make sure you have all your other ingredients measured and ready to go. You can do this while the water comes to a boil.

Next, heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir fry the cabbage, adding a little sugar and soy sauce for flavor.

Next add the garlic, followed by the shrimp and red pepper flakes. Stir fry just until the shrimp turn pink. Add the noodles, remaining sugar, remaining soy sauce and the oyster sauce and stir fry for one minute more. Sprinkle with green onions and you are ready to dish up.

How Spicy Is It?

A combination of crushed red pepper flakes and Sriracha sauce gives this dish a nice amount of heat. You can serve it with a little more Sriracha sauce if you want it even spicier.

Use Good Quality, Fresh Shrimp

I am fortunate to live on the coast and have access to really fresh shrimp. If you live farther inland, either make sure you buy from a trusted source or buy frozen shrimp and thaw them just before cooking.
