1. Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling water over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until barely tender and still firm.
2. Drain the noodles immediately and rinse them with cold water until cooled. Drain them well, place in a large bowl and toss with the vegetable oil so they don't stick together.
3. In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk to blend well. Pour dressing over noodles and toss to coat.
4. Add the shrimp, carrots, bean sprouts and snow peas, and toss again. Taste for seasoning. Cover and refrigerate.
