Fresh Vibes Only
Start with plump shrimp and a riot of veggies. Freshness is key, just like wandering through a Thai market, where the air is a blend of herbs, and colors pop from fresh produce.
Flavor Fusion
Thai food is all about balance. Mix creamy coconut milk, zesty lime, fish sauce, Thai chilies, lemongrass, and galangal. It’s a flavor party—rich, tangy, umami, and a hint of heat, perfect for creamy shrimp noodles.
Cook, Connect, Create
Creamy shrimp noodles is more than a meal; it’s a memory-maker. Simple ingredients, complex flavors—perfect for cooks at any level. Gather your crew, let the aroma fill the air, and enjoy the process as much as the result.
Sensory Symphony
Cooking’s an art, and this dish is a symphony. The sizzle, the colors, the aroma—each adds a note to the experience. It’s not just about eating; it’s about savouring every sense.

Instructions:
Prepare MAMA Noodles:
- Cook the MAMA Creamy Shrimp Noodles according to the package instructions. Set aside the seasoning packets for later.
Saute Shrimp: - In a large pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Vegetables: - Toss in the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Coconut Broth: - Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting the flavors meld for 5-7 minutes.
Combine: - Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan. Stir in the cooked MAMA Creamy Shrimp Noodles, ensuring they are well coated with the creamy coconut broth.
Season: - Taste the dish and adjust the flavor with the seasoning packets from the MAMA Noodles. Be mindful of the saltiness; you may not need the entire packet.
