Ingredients You’ll Need

The magic of Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles comes from a handful of bold, fresh staples — each ingredient is carefully chosen to give you exceptional flavor, fun textures, and gorgeous color. Here’s why every component counts:

Olive oil: The trusty base that helps sear your steak and get all those caramelized edges going.
Sirloin steak (thinly sliced): Choose a good-quality cut and slice against the grain for melt-in-your-mouth bites.
Salt and black pepper: A classic seasoning duo to bring out the bold flavors of your protein.
Onion (sliced): Adds sweetness and a little tender crunch to balance the rich meats.
Shrimp (peeled and deveined): Look for medium or large shrimp — they cook fast and stay juicy!
Sesame oil: Just a drizzle brings smoky, nutty notes that lift the entire noodle dish.
Garlic (minced): Use fresh for the best punch — it sings in every bite.
Teriyaki sauce: The backbone of flavor here, bringing sweet, savory, and that signature glossy sheen.
Soy sauce: For deep, salty umami that balances the sweetness of teriyaki.
Spaghetti noodles (cooked): A pantry favorite, perfect for soaking up all those sauces!
Green onions (chopped): A hit of fresh color and zippy flavor right at the end.
Sesame seeds (optional for garnish): Sprinkle over for extra crunch and visual pop.

How to Make Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles

Step 1: Sear the Steak

Heat up your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the thinly sliced sirloin and season with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak for about 3 minutes, letting it brown on the edges for that caramelized flavor. Don’t overcrowd the pan — a nice single layer ensures every piece gets juicy and golden.

Step 2: Soften the Onions

Toss the sliced onions into the pan with your steak. Stir occasionally, letting the onions soften and become lightly golden — about 2 more minutes. Once the steak and onions are ready, transfer them to a plate and set aside, making room for the shrimp.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

In the same skillet, add your peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until they’re pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook; that way, your shrimp stays tender and sweet. Move the shrimp to the plate with your steak and onions.

Step 4: Make the Garlic-Sesame Sauce

Lower the heat to medium and add a splash of sesame oil to the now-empty pan. Toss in the minced garlic, letting it sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it brown). Pour in the teriyaki and soy sauces, stirring to combine into a shiny, aromatic sauce that will coat every noodle later on.

Step 5: Toss in the Noodles

Add your cooked spaghetti noodles directly to the bubbling sauce. Use tongs to gently toss and turn them, making sure every strand gets a loving coat of the glossy teriyaki-soy mixture.

Step 6: Combine Everything

Now it’s time to bring Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles together! Return the steak, shrimp, and onions back to the pan. Toss everything to combine and let it heat through for another minute or two, so all those flavors meld and warm up beautifully.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

To finish, sprinkle the noodles with chopped green onions and a generous pinch of sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately — the aroma and glistening sauce are completely irresistible.

Garnishes

Bright, fresh garnishes truly make a difference with Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles. Green onions add peppery crunch, while sesame seeds bring subtle nuttiness. Try adding a squeeze of lime or a few sprigs of cilantro if you love a pop of brightness!

Side Dishes

This noodle dish pairs wonderfully with crisp Asian cucumber salad, quick sautéed greens, or even some steamed edamame. A light and simple side lets the rich flavors of the Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles shine without competing for attention.

Creative Ways to Present

For a show-stopping presentation, serve the noodles in big family-style bowls or on a platter, artfully arranging the steak and shrimp on top. Individual portions look beautiful twirled into nests with chopsticks stuck in the side. Sprinkle extra green onions and sesame seeds right before serving for that “restaurant wow” moment!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles (lucky you!), simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh and tasty for up to 3 days. The flavors only deepen, making next-day lunches especially delicious.

Freezing

While noodles themselves can sometimes change texture after freezing, this dish actually does well if you freeze it quickly after cooling. Store portions in sealed, freezer-safe containers for up to a month. Just be sure to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for best results.

Reheating

To reheat, pop your noodles into a skillet with a splash of water or extra sauce over medium heat. Stir gently until everything is warmed through. Avoid the microwave if possible, as it can overcook the shrimp, but in a pinch, use half-power and short intervals to keep things tender.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Absolutely! While sirloin is particularly tender, feel free to try flank or ribeye for extra flavor. Just slice thinly and cook briefly to keep things juicy.

What other noodles work in this recipe?

You can easily swap spaghetti for linguine, rice noodles, soba, or even ramen if that’s what you have. Just cook your noodles to al dente for the best texture.

Is there a vegetarian option for Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles?

Definitely! Swap steak and shrimp for tofu or your favorite sautéed mushrooms, and follow the same steps for a satisfying plant-based version.

Can I adjust the sauce to be less sweet?

Of course. If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of teriyaki sauce and add a splash more soy sauce. Or, use a low-sugar teriyaki variety for full flavor with less sweetness.

Can Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles be prepped ahead?

Yes! You can prep all ingredients — slicing steak, chopping onions, even cooking noodles — ahead of time. Store them separately and bring it all together in a hot pan when you’re ready to eat.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a dinner that’s both comforting and impressive, Shrimp & Teriyaki Steak Noodles really is the answer. It’s delightfully simple to make, unforgettable to eat, and fun to customize to your tastes. Give it a try, and get ready for clean plates and happy faces at your table!
