Description

He shoots, you score! This winning recipe gets the nod from Nick Suzuki, Montreal Canadiens captain. Make it snappy and make it shrimpy! Supper comes together quickly, crustacean-style, when you pinkify juicy shrimp in a pan with sesame-laced spices. They’ll soon be mingling with fresh Shanghai noodles, garlicky bok choy sautéed to the wilting point and a good dose of Asian condiments, from orange sauce to sesame oil. The final touch is thinly sliced and ever-so-faintly pickled string peas for some green pop.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1: Boil the noodles

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 5 to 7 min., until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the shrimp

Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.

Step 3: Sauté the bok choy

Remove the root ends of the bok choy; thinly slice. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the bok choy and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until tender; season with all but a pinch of the remaining spices.

Step 4: Mise en place

Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas; thinly slice each pod on an angle.

Step 5: Combine the noodles

To the pan of bok choy, add the shrimp, noodles, orange sauce, sesame oil and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined and heated through.

Step 6: Dress the string peas & serve

In a small bowl, combine the string peas, remaining spices, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Divide the noodles between your bowls. Top with the string peas. Bon appétit!
