08 - 3 packages instant ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
09 - 12 oz (340 g) smoked sausage or andouille, sliced into thin coins
10 - 1 lb (450 g) large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
11 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
13 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
14 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
15 - 1 1/2 cups (150 g) snap peas, trimmed

18 - 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
19 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
20 - 3 scallions, sliced
21 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
22 - 1 lime, cut into wedges

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set it beside the stove.
02 - Boil the ramen noodles 1 minute less than the package directions. Discard the seasoning packets, rinse the noodles briefly under cool water, and drain well.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned at the edges. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, then cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and mostly opaque. Transfer to the plate with the sausage.
05 - Add the bell pepper, snap peas, cabbage, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are bright and crisp-tender.
06 - Add the drained ramen and sauce to the skillet. Toss for 1-2 minutes until glossy and lightly thickened. Return the shrimp and sausage, toss until hot, then finish with scallions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

# Notes:

01 - Best served right away while the noodles are springy and glossy.
02 - Use andouille for more heat or kielbasa for a milder bowl.
03 - Nutrition is an estimate per serving.
