Garlic Noodles with Shrimp

Tonight we re-made the garlic noodles with shrimp dish from last month that we both really enjoyed and appreciated for how easy it is to make. There were a few minor variations that we added to tonight's recipe that definitely made the dish better and more fun.

Last time I made this dish I counted out 40 pieces of pre-cooked shrimp thinking it was approximately half of the bag. Turns out we still had well over half of the bag remaining and we decided to just use it all. Since there was significantly more shrimp this time, I doubled the volume for most of the marinade components (oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper).

We also had a 1-2 ounces of cooked pasta leftover from the linguine with ground turkey meat sauce that I added to our freshly cooked package of linguine when it came time to stir fry the noodles in butter and garlic.

The increased amount of pasta complemented the increased amount of shrimp very well and the concentration of seafood in this dish was a lot better than the previous time we made it.

Sadly, we forgot to get parmesan cheese for tonight's meal and ate it without the garnish. Everything was still delicious, but I would highly recommend to anyone making this recipe to ensure you have parmesan cheese nearby.
