Lime Shrimp Dragon Noodles
Description
This recipe brings together shrimp and ramen noodles dressed in a zesty sauce featuring fresh lime juice, sriracha, soy sauce, and brown sugar. The shrimp are sautéed in butter and garlic until pink and cooked through, imparting richness and aroma. Meanwhile, ramen noodles are cooked until tender and combined with the shrimp and sauce to coat everything evenly. The inclusion of fresh green onions and cilantro adds freshness and a slight herbal brightness to the dish.
The flavor profile balances heat from sriracha with sweetness from brown sugar and acidity from lime, creating a layered taste. The noodles provide a soft, satisfying base while the plump shrimp deliver a tender bite. This dish works well as a standalone meal or a quick dinner option when you want a mix of sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy elements in one bowl.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Shrimp $3.00, frozen, peeled and deveined, 51/70 size
- 2 packs (3 oz. each) ramen noodles $0.50
- 2 Tbsp sriracha $0.18
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce $0.10
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar $0.08
- 1 lime $0.50
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.18
- 2 cloves garlic $0.16
- 2 green onions $0.17
- cilantro $0.10, handful, fresh
Instructions
- Place the shrimp in a colander and rinse with cool water until thawed. Let the shrimp drain until ready to use.
- In a small bowl stir together the sriracha, soy sauce, brown sugar, and about 1 Tbsp juice from the lime. Set the sauce aside.
- Fill a medium sauce pot with water, place a lid on top, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles (without the flavoring packet) and continue to boil until the noodles are tender. Drain the noodles in a colander (if using the same colander for the shrimp, make sure to wash it with soap and water first).
- While waiting for the water to boil, mince two cloves of garlic. Add the butter and garlic to a large skillet and sauté over medium heat until the garlic is soft (about one minute). Add the shrimp and continue to sauté until the shrimp turn pink and opaque (about 3-5 minutes). Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Once the noodles have drained, add them to the skillet with the shrimp, then pour the prepared sauce over top. Toss the noodles in the sauce until everything is coated in sauce. Top the dragon noodles with sliced green onion, fresh cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lime.
