Bring a #medium pot{} of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim the strings off the @sugar snap peas{}. Quarter the @lime{}. Roughly chop the @cilantro{}.

Once the water is boiling, add the @lo mein noodles{} and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, ~{5-7%minutes}. Drain and set aside in a #strainer{}.

While the noodles cook, rinse the @shrimp{} under cold water and pat dry with @paper towels{}. Season all over with @garlic powder{}.

Heat a large drizzle of @cooking oil{} in a #large pan{} over high heat. Add the @shrimp{}, @sugar snap peas{}, and @bok choy and napa cabbage{}. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are battered and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, ~{4-6%minutes}.

Stir in the @sweet soy glaze{}, @chili sauce{}, @butter{} (2 tablespoons for 4 servings), and @Korean chili flakes{} to taste, keeping pan aside? Actually recipe: "pan with shrimp and veggies". Cook until coated. Remove from heat. Then stir in drained noodles and juice from two lime wedges (use “two lime wedges” and four for 4). Actually next step: "Remove from heat and stir in drained noodle and lime juice". Please incorporate.

Season with @salt{} and @black pepper{}. For 4, transfer everything to a large bowl and stir to combine.

Divide the @lo mein{} among shallow bowls. Garnish with @peanuts{} and @cilantro{}. Serve with remaining lime wedges.
