Step 1
Break uncooked noodles into small pieces about 2 inches long.
Step 2
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Press noodle pieces firmly onto each shrimp so they stick and form a coating on all sides.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully slide shrimp into the oil and fry 90 seconds per side until noodles are golden and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
