Everywhere I go, there is a garlic noodle dish on the menu. I first published my Crustacean garlic noodles recipe back in 2008, which was 10 years ago.

Over the years, I have simplified the recipe to a few versions. This Shrimp Garlic Noodles recipe is very easy but crazy delicious. You really have to try it.

Fresh Noodles Vs. Dry Noodles
If you have an Asian store, definitely buy fresh noodles. If Asian stores are not accessible, you can always use spaghetti for this recipe. To be honest, I often use spaghetti when I make garlic noodles. It’s easy and convenient.
