Soak the rice noodles in a deep bowl with hot water for 20 minutes. Make sure to fully submerge the noodles. Drain the noodles from the water and set aside. In a deep bowl, mix the lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add the eggs (lightly beaten), and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice noodles, the fish sauce mixture, half of the bean sprouts, half of the peanuts, and half of the green onions, and cook for 1 more minute.
