In a small bowl combine the oil, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar substitute, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Cook the pasta as per package directions until al dente. Drain under cold water and place in a large bowl.

Toss the noodles with shrimp, cucumber and dressing. Add the scallions and cilantro. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
