When it comes to magic formulas, most sorcerers don’t want to give away their secrets. But we’re happy to share the mystical mixture that gives this 10-minute dish its oomph: peanut butter, lime juice and sweet soy sauce. It’s a lush and plush coating for fresh noodles, which host nibbly edamame beans, softened shreds of cabbage and plump curls of shrimp. On the side, sesame-spiced smashed cukes are, well, just smashing.

Preparation
Boil the noodles
Place the pouches of peanut butter in a small bowl of warm water to soften. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; stir gently to separate. Boil, 3 to 5 min., until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Sauté the vegetables
Meanwhile, in a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the cabbage, edamame and garlic. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until tender; season with ½ the spices.
Make the sauce
Meanwhile, juice the lime. In a second small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, ½ the lime juice, 2 tbsp water and a drizzle of oil.
Make the smashed cucumber salad
Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; using the side of your knife, gently smash the halves until slightly flattened. Cut into large chunks. In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of oil, and the remaining lime juice and spices. Add the cucumbers; toss well.
Combine the noodles & serve
To the pan of vegetables, add the noodles and sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until combined and warmed through. Divide the noodles between your bowls. Top with the shrimp and smashed cucumber salad. Bon appétit!
