Learn how to make delicious Honey Garlic Butter Shrimp Noodles. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the right ingredients is like assembling pieces of a puzzle. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful dish:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 8 ounces of your favorite noodles (spaghetti, linguine, or rice noodles work well)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

If you’re missing a few ingredients, don’t fret! You can easily substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option or swap shrimp for chicken if that’s what you have on hand. The beauty of home cooking is its flexibility and adaptability to what’s available.

Instructions

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—cooking! These steps will guide you through the process with ease:

  1. Start by cooking the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink and opaque, roughly 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it slightly thickens.
  5. Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Remember, cooking is an art, not a science. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste. If your family loves a little extra heat, add more red pepper flakes. Cooking should bring joy, not stress!
