Low Carb Garlic Tofu Shirataki Noodles with Shrimp
How to Make It
Step 1
If using shell-on shrimp, take a paring knife and make a small cut at the opening of the shrimp shell on the opposite end of the tail. Find the vein and place it against the blade. Place your thumb on the knife holding the vein onto the knife, and pull it out. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. If using already peeled and deveined shrimp, you can skip this step.
Step 2
Place the deveined shrimp in a bowl. Add in the oyster sauce and ½ tsp sea salt. Mix well with a spoon.
Step 3
Drain the shirataki noodles well. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them for three minutes. Drain them again. Place the noodles back in the bowl and microwave for another two minutes. Drain them again. Now they are ready to be stir-fried. Set them aside.
Step 4
Mince all garlic and slice the scallion into small rounds. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add in 1 ½ tbsp of butter.
Step 5
Add in the shrimp and stir well. Do not disturb the shrimp for several minutes to allow good coloring to develop on the first side. You want them to develop a dark brown color.
Step 6
Then toss the shrimp and cook until completely pink and cooked through. Drizzle the shrimp with soy sauce and fresh lime juice. Cook for 30 seconds or so, tossing continually to glaze the shrimp.
Step 7
Add in half of the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, stirring well. Taste and adjust, adding more salt or lime juice as desired. Once the shrimp is cooked remove it to a plate.
Step 8
In the same pan, add the remaining butter. Add in the remaining garlic and saute for 20-30 seconds. Add in the shirataki noodles and toss well. Stir fry the noodles until they are dry, about 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
Step 9
Plate the noodles and sprinkle them with some of the scallions. The noodles should be served steaming hot! Cut some lime wedges for the plate.
Step 10
Serve the noodles with the shrimp immediately and top with remaining scallions. Serve the dish with additional lime wedges. Squeeze the lime over the shrimp before serving.
