Sriracha Shrimp Lo Mein

Zucchini Shrimp Stir Fry with Lo Mein Noodles
This colorful noodle dish is seriously a lazy cooks DREAM! It comes together so fast and effortlessly, and let’s be real, sometimes we all just need a quick, tasty, noodle dish – right?!
I added charred zucchini for a veggie kick (and because we’re already swimming in it), but I have a hankering you could really add any veggie you want. I also added spicy little shrimps because, well, because they’re super delish and take 2 minutes to cook. YES!!! You could probably add chicken or beef, too, but keep in mind they would take longer to cook.
Happy Sunday! I hope this weekend is being kind to you 🙂 xoxo

20-Minute Spicy Sriracha Shrimp and Zucchini Lo Mein
Ingredients
- (1) 8 oz. package lo mein noodles (I found them in the ethnic foods section of our grocery store)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled
- 1 medium zucchini, cut in half vertically, then cut into half moon shapes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 green onions, sliced thinly
- Salt to taste, if needed (the soy sauce has a lot of sodium, so taste before you add any to the finished product)
Instructions
- Begin a large pot of salted water to boil. Once the water reaches a full boil, add the 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 the brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger, and sesame oil.
- In a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Add the crushed red pepper to the butter, and once it's completely melted whisk in the eggs. Stir gently and cook for about 3 minutes. Once the egg is done cooking, keep the pan on the burner but transfer eggs to a small plate; set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add shrimp 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 zucchini to the pan, increase heat to high, and remaining oil; stir fry until just charred; about 3 minutes. Stir in 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 the sliced green onions and cilantro and serve at once!









Made this for dinner tonight. I used chicken instead of shrimp because my husband does not like shrimp and it was delicious! Will definitely make this again. Maybe next time I will try using shrimp.
This is such a gorgeous dish! I started craving it the moment I saw it. I have been on a shrimp kick lately mainly because of how fast and easy it is to cook. This is definitely getting made while my garden veggies are in full swing!
Thank you, Courtney! I love shrimp too – and for the same reasons 🙂 I hope you love this spicy noodle dish as much as we did!
Your recipe looks amazing. I accidentally bought cooked shrimp do you think that would work and how would I add it to the recipe?
Hey Amber! Thanks so much. I would just make the dish as is, then toss the shrimp in at the end 😉 Good luck! xo
This looks sooooo good! I have an open packet of Asian noodles that are just begging to be used. I bet they’d be perfect for this.
Ditto, never met a noodle I didn’t like! Love this!
Lazy cooking is the best and noodles always hits the spot! Love this twist! 🙂
Hooray for lazy cooking! These noodles sound fantastic and easy — my two favorite things. 🙂
I wouldn’t call this recipe lazy! I was so stressed making this!! Maybe on my 2nd try it’ll be better. It was very good though even though I didn’t have any brown sugar ginger or awesome oil!
This is the BEST BEST Asian noodle bowl I’ve ever had. My husband loves it. I try not to make it every week so as to avoid burnout. But I don’t think we ever would!
I completely agree! They are the best ive ever had restaurant or otherwise. I made them in university a few years ago and am makinng them again now.

This lo mien looks amazing! Pinned for dinner this week! Hubs is out of town which means I can stuff my face with noodles for dinner with no one asking, “where the real dinner is?” !!! Hooray!
Great with lime juice added prior to eating! Yummy!
That looks delicious! nothing like a homemade noodle bowl. 🙂
This dish was amazing I added some peanuts just for an extra crunch and it was super tasty ☺️ Thanks for the amazing recipe!
