Heat a pot of water to boiling and cook the noodles according to the package directions (usually add noodles at boiling, remove from heat, and soak for 8-10 minutes).

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, and sriracha. Set aside.

In a large skillet, melt 1 Tbsp of butter. As the butter is melting, add the crushed red pepper (if desired). In a small bowl, whisk the egg and add to the skillet. Stir the egg as it cooks and remove from the skillet once cooked through.

Add 1 Tbsp of butter to the skillet and add the shrimp and garlic. If the shrimp is already cooked, you only need to heat the shrimp through. Otherwise, cook accordingly (shrimp cooks very quickly). Remove shrimp from skillet and turn off the heat.

Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water and add the noodles to the skillet with the egg, shrimp, and sauce. Turn skillet heat on low and mix all ingredients thoroughly. You can add the peanuts at this point if you’d like or add them at the end.

Bowl up and enjoy! Of course it’s most fun to eat with chopsticks. ;)
