Shrimp Stir Fry with Ramen Noodles
Description
Shrimp Stir Fry with Ramen Noodles brings together fresh shrimp and a variety of crisp vegetables including red bell peppers, julienned carrots, snow peas, and chopped broccoli. The ramen noodles add a soft, chewy bite that's easy to prepare by boiling briefly and rinsing. The stir-fry sauce mixes minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, red pepper flakes, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken, delivering a bright, slightly spicy, sweet-savory flavor. Cooking the vegetables and shrimp quickly in sesame oil maintains their texture and freshness.
The combination of noodles, shrimp, and vibrant vegetables makes this a one-pan meal that works well for a casual lunch or dinner. Adding green onions and optional sriracha at the end provides an extra punch and freshness.
Adjust the amount of sauce depending on vegetable and shrimp quantities. Ginger can be added to the sauce for additional depth. Leftovers can be reheated gently to keep the shrimp tender.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp raw
- 1 red bell pepper sliced, medium
- 2 carrot julienned
- 1-2 cups snow peas , ends trimmed if desired
- 1 cup broccoli chopped
- 2-3 oz ramen noodles uncooked
- 1-2 tsp sesame oil for sautéing
- 2-3 TBSP green onion for topping, sliced
- sriracha or chili garlic sauce, for topping (optional)
STIR FRY SAUCE
- 3-4 cloves garlic (smashed, peeled, and minced)
- ½ lemon , juiced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 TBSP sweet chili sauce
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp water cold
Instructions
- Clean and peel fresh raw shrimp. Thaw first if using frozen. Tails may be left on or off based on preference. Any size works here; simply adjust cook time to compliement shrimp size.
- Prep veggies. I always suggest slicing carrots and bell peppers thin for faster cooking, and also chopping broccoli into small bites. Snow peas can be kept whole or cut in half.
- Next mix up the sauce. Combine minced garlic with lemon juice, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk and set aside. In a small separate bowl, stir together corn starch and water.
- Now that the prepwork is done, this dish will come togehter quick!
- Cook noodles via package instructions in boiling water, approx. 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok or skillet to medium-high heat with sesame oil. Add veggies and stir fry for 2 minutes for still-crisp veggies or a few extra minutes for more tender vegetables.
- Add shrimp to the vegetables. Add sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp are visibly opaque/curled and cooked through. Add corn starch and cook for an additional minute to thicken the sauce. Alternatively, if your pan seems a bit crowded, the shrimp can be cooked on their own in a separate skillet then added to the dish at the end.
- Add ramen noodles and mix well. Adjust spices/sauce to taste if needed. Top with chopped green onion and drizzle with sriracha or chili sauce if desired <--- always a must for me! Enjoy!
Notes
- Double the sauce if increasing the amount of shrimp, noodles, or vegetables to keep flavors balanced.
- Fresh ginger added to the sauce enhances flavor but is optional.
- Sriracha or chili garlic sauce can be used as a spicy topping to suit taste preferences.
- Portion sizes can be adjusted; the nutrition estimates are for two large servings but can be divided for more portions.
