Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
50 tiger shrimp; thawed and peeled
1 large red pepper; sliced thin
3 cups coleslaw mix
3 green onions, trimmed and sliced
2 large handfuls of snow peas; roughly one cup worth standing up.
1 ½ cup teriyaki sauce
3 bricks ramen noodles

Instructions

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large deep-sided sautee pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced red pepper and cole slaw mix to the pan and let cook for about 2 minutes until the red peppers have softened a little.
While the shrimp are cooking boil about 4 cups of water. Add the noodles to a large bowl and pour the boiled water over the noodles. Let sit for 3 minutes to soften then drain them in a colander. Run cold water over them to stop them from cooking further and drain. Set aside. They should be soft and firm to the tooth and not mushy.
Add the shrimp to the pan, mix to combine and cover with a lid. Let the shrimp cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they are pink and no longer grey and translucent. Remove the lid.
When the shrimp are done add the snow peas and green onions to the pan, mix and let cook 1 minute.
Add 3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce to the pan and continue to simmer for a minute.
Add the noodles and the remaining teriyaki sauce to the pan and continue to cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce has warmed. Serve hot.

Notes

Storage:

Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 90 seconds or over medium heat in a pan for about 3 minutes.

Variations:

Swap out the shrimp for chicken, pork, beef, tofu or make with only vegetables.
Add any vegetable you prefer but chop to about 1" pieces for quick cooking.
