Ingredients

What you'll need to make this Shrimp Ramen recipe:

For The Sauce:

¼ cup of regular soy sauce
2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons of Hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons of seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
1 teaspoon of oyster sauce
1 teaspoon of sriracha
¼ teaspoon of white ground pepper

Pro Tip

Dark soy sauce is different from standard soy sauce. It is thicker and has a deeper and richer flavor. You can omit it and just use all standard soy sauce if desired; however, your sauce will not be quite as rich.

For The Shrimp And Noodles:

3 (3-ounce) packages of ramen noodles (do not use the flavor packets)
3 tablespoons of canola oil, divided into 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons
1 pound of medium (51-60 size) shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)

For The Vegetables:

1 cup of diced red bell pepper
1 cup of sliced baby portabella mushrooms
1 cup of broccoli florets, broken into small bite-sized pieces
½ cup of diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons of sliced scallions (green onions), optional garnish
2 teaspoons of toasted sesame seeds, optional garnish

Substitutions and Additions

Personalize your Shrimp with Ramen recipe by swapping out ingredients and adding delicious extras! These simple changes make the dish your own. Here are some top substitutions and additions:

Enhance the Broth: Swap soy sauce with Miso paste or add a splash of coconut milk for a creamier flavor!

Substitute Shrimp: Use chicken or tofu for a different protein that still pairs perfectly with the ramen.

Substitute Ramen Noodles: Try Soba or Udon noodles for a heartier texture in your Shrimp with Ramen dish.

Add Vegetables: Toss in broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for added crunch and freshness.

These easy substitutions and additions can easily be swapped out while still maintaining the deliciousness of this easy ramen recipe.

How to Make Shrimp with Ramen

Follow along with our step-by-step instructions and pictures to make this delicious Ramen recipe. Check out the tips and tricks below for extra help and flavor boosts. Let’s get started and enjoy this tasty dish!

FIRST STEP: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, seasoned rice wine vinegar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, grated garlic, oyster sauce, sriracha, and white ground pepper. Set aside.

SECOND STEP: In a 3 to 4-quart saucepot, over medium-high heat, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.

Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook ramen noodles for two to three minutes or just until the noodles begin to soften.

Drain and rinse the noodles in cool water to stop the cooking process. Set the noodles aside.

Pro Tip

You don’t need the seasoning packet that comes in the ramen packages. You can either toss them or keep them for another recipe in the future.

THIRD STEP: In a large 10 to 12-inch skillet, over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of the canola oil.

FOURTH STEP: Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for three to four minutes or just until pink.

Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate to set aside.

Pro Tip

If you are using shrimp that has been frozen, be sure that you thaw them completely according to the package directions.

Thoroughly pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the hot skillet.

FIFTH STEP: Add the remaining two tablespoons of canola oil to the skillet and add the diced red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets, and diced yellow onion.

Cook the vegetables for five to six minutes or until tender.

Pro Tip

When dicing your red bell pepper and yellow onions, try to keep them roughly the same size. Your broccoli florets need to be approximately the same size as well. This ensures that your vegetables cook at the same rate.

SEVENTH STEP: Using tongs, toss the vegetables, shrimp, noodles, and sauce together and cook for an additional one to two minutes.

EIGHTH STEP: Transfer the shrimp with ramen to a large serving dish and garnish with the optional sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
