Wash and dry all produce. Bring a #medium pot{} of salted water to a boil. Add lo mein noodles and cook until al dente ~{3%minutes}. Drain, rinse with cool water, and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

Rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat cooking oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque ~{3%minutes}. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add sugar snap peas and bok choy and napa cabbage to the hot pan. Stir-fry until tender-crisp ~{2%minutes}. Return shrimp to the pan. Stir in sweet soy glaze, sweet thai chili sauce, butter, and korean chili flakes to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until coated and glossy ~{1%minutes}. Remove from heat.

Divide lo mein noodles between shallow bowls. Top with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Garnish with peanuts and chopped cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
