Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Trim green beans if necessary. Quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook until tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water, at least 30 seconds.
While noodles cook, rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with garlic powder.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add shrimp, green beans, and coleslaw mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and tender and shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Stir sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and chili flakes to taste into pan with shrimp and veggies. Cook, stirring, until coated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in drained noodles and juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4) until thoroughly coated and combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. (For 4, transfer everything to a large bowl to combine.)
Divide stir-fry between shallow bowls. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro. (TIP: For an extra-nutty crunch, toast peanuts in a hot dry pan!) Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

- Leftovers: Several mentioned having enough for another meal, with some noting leftovers tasted even better.
- Texture: Some found the noodles clumpy or soggy; consider adjusting cooking time for better texture.
- Vegetables: Try swapping green beans for broccoli or adding more veggies for a heartier dish 🥦.
Reviews from our home cooks
The green beans have to go into the pan earlier because they take longer to cook. Putting them in at the same time as the shrimp means the shrimp becomes fully cooked but the green beans are still raw and crunchy.
Very very good. My wife was afraid of the spicy but I did not use the chili flakes. Even without them this is a great stir fry. The shrimp and noodles what more can I say. This is a ten star.
Recipe is delicious and was easy to make. I only had to throw out a few shrimp due to not being deveined. This is an improvement. I had stopped ordering recipes with shrimp because of this.
Green beans needed way more time. They should have cooked for at least 3 more minutes. Also way too many green beans. I think a different veggie would have gone better with the dish. Also would have liked it be a little saucier
Love the change of pace with shrimp as the protein. I also love anything with this sauce. The shrimp is overcooked if you add it to the pan at the same time as the veggies. I want my veggies more tender.
This was fantastic! The peanuts and cilantro made the dish!
I decided to try a shrimp meal. I had skipped them in the past because I didn't feel full. Now it seems HF is providing more shrimp. Loved it!
This is very tasty. It took me 40 minutes to make and it was rated at 20 minutes. I was worrying along as fast as I could go. This is the 6th recipe that I have made and all of them took twice as long as stated except one. I think the time is off for most of us who aren't professional chefs.
Absolutely delicious with so many flavors!
This was a new dish for us. We'd get it again. We added more veggies
