Noodles with shrimp

15 minutes

Shrimp noodles are a gourmet dish of Chinese cuisine that combines the tenderness of tiger shrimp with the aroma of spices and the freshness of lime. The origin of this dish is linked to traditional Cantonese gastronomy, where seafood plays a key role. The taste blends the light sweetness of shrimp, the richness of soy sauce, and the subtle spiciness of star anise. Egg noodles soaked in fragrant sauce become tender and appetizing. This dish is not only nutritious but also versatile—it can be served as a quick dinner or festive treat. Serving with lime wedges adds a fresh citrus note that enhances the balance of flavors.
