The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes. Scoop out ¼ cup of the water, then drain.

  2. Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp until pink, about 1 minute per side, then move to a plate.

  3. Lower the heat to medium, add the rest of the butter and the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until golden and fragrant.

  4. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and the reserved water, then add the noodles and shrimp and toss for 1 minute.

  5. Squeeze over the lemon juice, scatter with scallions and serve.

Tips

  • Pat the shrimp dry so they sear instead of steaming.
  • Do not let the garlic go past golden or it turns bitter.
  • A pinch of grated parmesan on top is not traditional, but it is delicious.
