    Vermicelli and Shrimp

    Jan 9, 2022 · 1 Comment

    Jump to Recipe

    I can't think of a quicker weeknight meal than Vermicelli and Shrimp! What makes it quick? Vermicelli literally takes 4 minutes to cook and shrimp really doesn't take much longer. The most time consuming part of this meal is washing and chopping up the vegetables that you decide to add! I make vermicelli and shrimp with a soy ginger honey garlic sauce that is mixed right in the pan with the ingredients. (because who likes more dishes? not me.)

    Frequently Asked Questions about Shrimp and Vermicelli

    Can I use cooked shrimp?

    Yes, just don't add it until the end as it will over cook if you add it in the beginning

    What are some other vegetables I can use instead of the ones listed?

    Green Cabbage (Thinly Sliced), Green Peas (in the shell) Green Beans, Cauliflower, Zucchini etc. Just be sure to cut whatever vegetable(s) you choose small enough that it will cook the same time as the other vegetables.

    I find this too salty, what should I do?

    Use low sodium soy sauce.

    Can I use stevia instead of honey?

    You can easily sub out honey for whatever sweetener you are used to using in your kitchen.

    How do I reheat the leftovers?

    This will take about a minute to reheat in the microwave. You can also reheat it on the stove. I find its best to reheat in a frying pan on high heat. add a couple tablespoons of water to steam the dish as a way to reheat it instead of frying it and drying it out.

    How to cook frozen shrimp?

    Its best to slowly defrost in the fridge before peeling. If you're in a hurry you can let it sit in cold water and then peel it. Either way defrost it before you cook it. unless you like chewy shrimp.

    Ingredients
      

    • 227 grams dry vermicelli Half a package

    Shrimp

    • Raw Shrimp
    • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • ½ Teaspoon Parsley
    • ¼ Teaspoon Table Salt

    Veggies and Sauce

    • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil For the pan
    • 1 Cup Broccoli Cut into 1 inch pieces
    • 1 Cup Carrots Julienned or grated (if grated add at very end)
    • ½ Red Bell Pepper
    • 1 Cup White Mushrooms
    • 3 Stalks Green Onion Diced
    • 3 Cloves Garlic Diced
    • 2 Tablespoons Honey you can use less if you don't like sweet
    • 4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
    • 1 Teaspoon Rice Wine Vinegar Optional
    • ¼ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
    • 2 Tablespoons Ginger Grated or Puree
    • 1 Teaspoon Sesame Oil
    • ¼ Cup Cilantro

    Instructions
     

    Shrimp

    • Peel and Devein the Shrimp. I like to buy raw shrimp that is already deveined and then quickly peel them. Once peeled, toss the shrimp in the garlic powder, salt and parsley. Set Aside.

    Vermicelli

    • Cook to package instructions. Really its just boil a large pot of water and cook the noodles for about 4 minutes. I like to get my water hot and ready so when I start sautéing my vegetables and shrimp the vermicelli can get cooking.

    Veggies and Sauce

    • To a large frying pan or if you're lucky enough to own a wok, this is the time to use it! Add the onions and garlic with cooking oil. Cook for a minute and then add the shrimp and vegetables. Cook until the shrimp are cooked and the vegetables are tender. this only takes about 5 minutes! Once everything is good, add in the noodles followed by the honey, soy sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes and rice vinegar. Toss to coat. Add Seasme Oil right before serving.
    • Top with Cilantro.
      You can add more fresh green onions or other vegetables as a topping when you serve.
