Ingredients
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (such as Jif or Skippy brand)
- ¼ cup warm water
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or other hot sauce)
- 3 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
- 3 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded
- 1 lb. cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, fresh cilantro, or chow mein noodles
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While you wait for the water to boil, prepare the sauce by whisking together the peanut butter and warm water in a large bowl. The peanut butter may separate, but it will come together as you continue to whisk. Whisk in the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and sriracha. Stir in the white parts of the green onions.
- When the water comes to a boil, season with salt and cook the ramen noodles until al dente, according to package instructions (about 3 minutes). Add the cooked shrimp to the hot water during the final 30 seconds so that they warm through. Drain.
- Add the hot noodles and the shrimp directly to the peanut sauce. Toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Garnish the noodles with the chopped peanuts and the green parts of the scallions. You can add sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, or chow mein noodles if you like, too!

Notes
- If you prefer to start with raw shrimp, you can either saute the shrimp in a skillet with olive oil or butter over medium-high heat until pink, or cook them in the boiling pasta water for 3-4 minutes (just until they turn pink and opaque).
