1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 lb (500 g) uncooked medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped gingerroot

Steps

1

Cook and drain noodles as directed on package.

Meanwhile, heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; rotate skillet to coat bottom. Add shrimp, garlic and gingerroot; cook and stir about 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm. Remove from skillet.
3

Add carrots, green beans, 1 cup of the broth, the soy sauce and sugar to skillet. Heat to boiling. Cover and cook over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Stir in shrimp and lemon juice. Mix cornstarch and remaining broth until smooth; stir into shrimp mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Divide noodles among bowls. Top with shrimp mixture.

Substitution:Need an easy substitute for soba noodles? Use whole wheat spaghetti or ramen noodles.
Time Saver:Purchase shrimp already peeled and deveined. Frozen uncooked shrimp can also be used; just be sure to thaw them before cooking.
