Step 1
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add noodles and cook until al dente, ~4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Add shrimp and sear 90 seconds per side without stirring until edges curl and surface is opaque.
Step 4
Transfer shrimp to a plate. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir constantly for 60 seconds until fragrant and golden at the edges.
Step 5
Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir to combine, then add the cooked noodles. Toss constantly for 2 minutes until noodles are glossy and heated through.
Step 6
Return shrimp to the skillet. Drizzle sesame oil and add sliced scallions. Toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Divide between bowls. Top with extra scallions and serve immediately.
