Prep

  1. 01

    Mince 6 cloves garlic.

  2. 02

    Juice 1 lemon.

  3. 03

    Chop 0.25 cup fresh parsley.

Method

  1. 01

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 02

    While the noodles cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 03

    In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 04

    Increase heat to medium-high and add the shrimp. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until pink and just cooked through.

  5. 05

    Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Let it reduce slightly, about 1 minute.

  6. 06

    Add chicken broth and the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together and warm through, about 1 minute. Squeeze the lemon over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 07

    Divide among bowls and top with crispy breadcrumbs and fresh parsley.

Spice Tips

For gentle warmth, the recipe already includes red pepper flakes. For more heat, add an extra pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce at the end. A touch of fresh tarragon or dill in place of some parsley adds herbaceous depth.
