Ingredients

  • 1 onion sliced
  • sesame oil
  • 1 cup chopped snap peas
  • 1 cup chopped baby corn
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 pounds shrimp cleaned and deveined
  • 3 oranges
  • 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 5 roughly chopped dried arbol chiles
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 12 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup peanuts and walnuts
  • 12 oz lo mein noodles cooked and rinsed to package instructions

Instructions

  • Saute some onions for 3 minutes in sesame oil, add the peas and corn, cook 3 minutes, add the garlic, cook 2 minutes, add 2 lbs shrimp, juice from 3 oranges and 2 limes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a huge handful of dried chiles. Cook until the shrimp are mostly opaque.
  • Stir the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl and add it to the shrimp mixture. It will thicken as it simmers.
