Instructions
  1. Peel the shrimp, but leave the tail intact. (Devein shrimp, if not already done).
  2. Make the sauce: In a little bowl, mix together the soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, cooking sherry (or Chinese rice wine), and granulated sugar until well combined. Set sauce aside.
  3. Bring a small pan of water to a boil on high heat. Add ramen noodles; cook noodles for 3 minutes. Drain noodles. Set aside.
  4. Heat the olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the minced garlic to the hot pan; stir and cook for about 30 seconds (be careful NOT to burn it!).
  5. Add shrimp to skillet. Cook shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, until both sides are pink. Add the sauce mixture and the noodles to the skillet. Mix gently to combine. Cook until heated through (a minute or so). Sprinkle with a bit of the green onions and sesame seeds.
  6. Place shrimp and noodles on individual serving plates. Garnish with additional green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

You can also make the shrimp (without the noodles). The original recipe serves 4 (shrimp and sauce only- no noodles). Use 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp, and keep all other ingredient amounts the same.
