Add snow peas and white and light-green parts of scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and lightly charred in places, about 3 minutes. Add broth mixture and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add sprouts, shrimp, and noodles and toss until noodles are well coated in sauce.
