Sriracha shrimp stir-fry noodles.
Easy wok recipe that fixes your need for a spicy seafood dish and a one-pot meal dinner.
Did you make my sriracha spicy shrimp with coconut milk sauce?
Well, this is recipe is all about using the same sriracha shrimp to make a one-pot wok meal.
You can serve the Sriracha shrimp noodle stir-fry as lunch or dinner.
If you meal prep for the whole week, the spicy stir-fry noodle can be made for these meal boxes as well.
How I deveined and shelled shrimp.
There is no trick to make it easy, except for the toothpick that helps with the deveining, but here’s how I do it.
Transfer all the shrimp/prawns into a large pan.
Wash and drain twice then to the final rinse, add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric before draining.
I devein and shell in 2 steps,
First I devein the shrimp,
When that’s done, I start shelling the shrimp. I find the two-step method much easier to handle than trying to devein and shell a shrimp at a time.
You can use the heads to make the shrimp head fries and throw out the rest.
Please let me know if you have an easier way of doing it, I
would love to know what method you use.

How I adapted the spicy sriracha shrimp stir-fry to serve two meals for my family.
When I was planning to make the spicy sriracha shrimp, I made sure that I bought 1 kg of shrimp.
I made the Sriracha shrimp stir-fry in a coconut milk sauce using all the shrimp(1kg of it).
The recipe on the blog for the shrimp stir-fry is for 500g, I doubled all the ingredients except for oil and made it for 1kg.
Once it was done, I separated the shrimp stir-fry into two equal portions.
One shrimp stir-fry was served as a side dish for lunch.
The other half was used to create this shrimp stir-fry noodles, whatever shrimp was leftover from lunch was added to the stir-fry as well.
Again if you don’t want to serve shrimp for dinner, pack the noodles to be served the next day.
I wouldn’t advise keeping the noodles longer than that unless you freeze them.
My kids are not patient, they saw me making both the dishes(sriracha shrimp stir-fry and the noodles)so they had both on the same day. no left-overs.
And this is how repurposed the recipe to make two dishes.

Workflow to make Sriracha shrimp stir-fry noodles.
- Devein and shell all the shrimp.
- Make the sriracha shrimp stir-fry.
- Boil the pasta/noodles separately.
- Combine the pasta with the sriracha shrimp stir-fry with a few add-ons.
What type of noodles should I use?
I find using Asian noodles doesn’t do well for stir-fries that need to be made early and served at dinner.
They usually turn soggy if left too long or breaks into smaller pieces while mixing.
For this reason, I tend to use spaghetti noodles to make dishes such as this one-pot noodle stir-fry. I can go crazy with my two spoons mixing and combining, so spaghetti pasta is hardy enough to withstand my spoon skills.
Which makes life easy for me because I tend to make dinner really early and at a serving time all I have to do is heat and serve.
Tip- when mixing, I like to use two wooden spoons to combine the shrimp and spaghetti noodles.
