Ingredients
Please scroll down to below recipe card for exact measurements.
- Marinara sauce
- Jumbo shrimp: you can use ones with shell on or off, it's up to you
- Red onion or substitute with onion
- Garlic
- Neutral oil: like avocado oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil with a high smoke point. Avoid olive oil or any heavy scented oils with a low smoke point.
- Frozen udon: I find this has a bouncier and more delicious texture than room temperature
- Salt and pepper
- Good quality white wine
- Seaweed flakes or nori strips: optional garnish
Cashew cream
- Raw cashews
- Hot boiling water
How to make this Shrimp Rose Udon
In a blender, add 1 cup hot boiling water and raw cashews. Allow this to soak for 5 minutes. Blend until very smooth or you will see clumps. Set aside.
Bring a pot of water to boil and blanch your frozen udon noodles. Once they are loosened, quickly strain them and set aside.
In a non-stick pan, add 1 teaspoon cooking oil. Cook your shrimp on both sides until they are pink through and brownish on the shells. They should also curl up completely - that's how you know they're cooked. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. If there are any shells left in the pan, remove.
In the same pan, bring the heat to medium high and add cooking oil, followed by diced onions and garlic. Fry until soft and fragrant. Then add white wine.
Quickly in your marinara sauce and cashew cream.
Toss in udon noodles and mix well with sauce. If you want your sauce more runny, add about ¼ cup water or more if needed.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place cooked shrimp over your pasta and enjoy with some roasted seaweed as an optional garnish.

Excellent dish and simple dish! Satisfied my craving for rose sauce and udon noodles. I used chicken instead and still very tasty.
