Ingredients
- 1 Lb raw shrimp peeled, deveined with the tails removed
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 4 cups coleslaw mix or finely diced cabbage
- 8 oz Lo Mein Noodles
- 1/2 red bell pepper sliced
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, brown sugar and sesame oil. Then set aside.
- Cook the noodles based on the package instructions to al dente and set aside.
- Then heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp, season it with the salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp just turns pink (watch closely so that it doesn’t overcook). Then remove the shrimp from the pan to a separate plate and set aside.
- Then add the coleslaw mix and red bell pepper to the pan (add more oil if needed). Cook these vegetables for 3-5 minutes until they are soft. Then add the ginger and the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 more minute.
- Next stir in the shrimp and the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the noodles. Toss to combine all the ingredients.
- Remove the pan from the heat and then the shrimp lo mein is ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes
- If you cannot find lo mein noodles in your area, you can use ramen noodles or spaghetti noodles instead. Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can use pre-cooked shrimp, but just cook until it’s heated through so you do not over cook the shrimp.
