A peanut sauce is spiked with flavorful hoisin, sesame oil, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce to dress the silky noodles plus a package of vegetable slaw mix. The store-bought slaw mix keeps the prep short while bulking up the noodle salad with plenty of veg. Then shrimp are cooked alongside scallions and glazed in a sweet and savory sauce made with zesty lime and chili garlic sauce. Dress the noodles right before serving, as you would a leafy salad, for prime texture. Try almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for equally delicious results. If you prefer more texture, opt for a chunky nut butter. Ingredients Kosher salt, for cooking noodles 4 oz. soba noodles 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil 2 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 2 or 3 limes), divided 3 Tbsp. chili-garlic sauce, divided 3 tsp. light brown sugar, divided 1 10-oz. pkg. coleslaw mix 1 cup thinly sliced scallions (from about 6 scallions), divided, plus more for topping 2 tsp. neutral oil (such as canola) 12 oz. peeled and deveined large shrimp Directions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Whisk peanut butter, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl. Whisk in 1/3 cup warm water until mixture is slightly thick but able to drizzle from a spoon. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. Toss together coleslaw, noodles, and 1/2 cup scallions in a large bowl. Heat neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add remaining 1/2 cup scallions; cook over medium, stirring, for 1 minute. Add shrimp; cook, stirring often, until pink in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon lime juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are cooked through, about 1 minute. Reserve 1/4 cup peanut dressing; toss remaining dressing with noodle salad. Add shrimp and drizzle with reserved 1/4 cup peanut dressing. Top with more scallions. Stir together and refrigerate the peanut dressing up to a day ahead.
