Instructions

Cook noodles. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lo mein noodles and cook according to package instructions until about 1 minute shy of al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
Make sauce. Add soy sauce, water, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and cornstarch to a small bowl. Whisk together until no lumps remain and set aside.
Cook shrimp. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add thawed shrimp, and season with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp for about 4-5 minutes, stirring, until fully cooked through. Remove the shrimp from pan and set aside.
Cook vegetables. Add broccoli, carrot, and red pepper to skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine shrimp, noodles, and sauce with vegetables. Return shrimp to the pan.
Whisk sauce again to make sure it is still well incorporated then add the sauce to the pan and stir well to combine.
Reduce heat to medium and allow stir fry to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Add cooked noodles and toss until noodles are well coated in sauce.
Garnish and serve. Garnish lo mein with green onions and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cut vegetables so that they are approximately the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
Try using Panda Express Kung Pao Stir Fry Sauce or Thai BBQ sauce instead of making your own to save time.
