Ingredients
– 16 ounces raw large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
– 1 teaspoon olive oil
– 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
– 4 minced garlic cloves
– 7 cups chicken stock
– 5 ounces thinly sliced crimini or shiitake mushrooms
– Two 3-ounce packages instant ramen noodles (with flavor packets discarded)
– 3 thinly sliced green onions
– Low-sodium soy sauce (to taste) for customizing flavor
– Hot sauces such as gochujang or Sriracha (to taste) for adding heat
Instructions
1-First, prepare your ingredients by peeling and deveining the 16 ounces of fresh shrimp, slicing the mushrooms, and mincing the garlic and ginger. This setup helps everything move quickly. You’ll need 1 teaspoon of olive oil to kick off the cooking.
2-Next, heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat, then sautΓ© the 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons of grated ginger until they smell amazing. This creates the flavorful base for your broth. Pour in the 7 cups of chicken stock and bring it to a gentle boil, adding salt if needed based on the stock’s sodium.
3-Then, add the 5 ounces of thinly sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth and let them cook for a bit. Stir in the prepared shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. In another pot, cook the two 3-ounce packages of instant ramen noodles in the broth until tender, which takes just a few minutes.
4-Finally, serve by dividing the noodles into bowls, ladling the hot broth with shrimp and mushrooms over the top, and garnishing with the 3 thinly sliced green onions. Customize with low-sodium soy sauce and hot sauces like gochujang or Sriracha for extra flavor. For similar quick recipes, check out our chicken stir-fry recipe that also comes together in minutes.
Notes
π€ Don’t overcook the shrimp – they become tough and rubbery when cooked too long
π Use fresh ramen noodles if available for better texture, but instant noodles work great for quick meals
π§ Taste the broth before adding salt since chicken stock sodium levels vary significantly between brands
