Spicy Shrimp Ramen Bowls
Description
The recipe starts by prepping fresh or defrosted shrimp along with a variety of mushrooms like baby bella, shiitake, and oyster. Aromatic ingredients including sliced jalapeño, minced garlic, and scallions are prepared, separating whites and greens for staggered cooking. Baby bok choy is also sliced, keeping white and green parts separate. Sesame oil provides a mild toasted note.
Mushrooms, jalapeño, and the white segments of bok choy and green onions are sautéed until tender, garlic is added briefly for fragrance. Vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth is then added together with soy sauce and sriracha for heat and seasoning. This broth is brought to a boil, after which shrimp and ramen noodles are simmered until cooked through. The green parts of bok choy and scallions are stirred in near the end for freshness and texture.
The finished bowls offer a balance of spicy, savory, and fresh flavors. The shrimp are tender, the noodles chewy, and the vegetables crisp-tender. The broth is spicy but balanced, making it comforting yet lively. It’s suitable as a warm main dish, especially when craving spicy, hearty ramen.
Notes suggest adjusting spice levels by adding or reducing sriracha, jalapeño, or chili oil. A preferred ramen noodle brand, not fried and without seasoning packets, is recommended for a cleaner flavor and easy availability. Estimated nutrition facts are provided for the base recipe.
Ingredients
- 6-8 oz Shrimp fresh or defrosted from frozen, raw
- 4 oz mushrooms baby bella, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, mixed gourmet types
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeño
- 3-4 scallions
- 1-2 heads baby bok choy
- 2 tsp sesame oil I use 1 tsp of each for mild sesame flavor, light, or avocado oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth, low-sodium
- 2 TBSP sriracha or sesaon to taste
- 2 TBSP soy sauce or season to taste, low-sodium
- 4-5 ounces ramen noodles uncooked, see notes
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp if using frozen. You can buy pre-prepped shrimp or add a few minutes to your prep time to peel/clean the shrimp yourself.
- Next prep your veggies and measure out remaining ingredients. This dish comes together fast so prepping it all at once is the way to go!
- Thinly slice jalapeño. Peel and thinly slice garlic. Use a sharp knife to separate both the green onion and the bok choy into white and green segments. Thinly chop each and set aside.
- Bring a large pot to medium-high heat with 2 tsp oil. Add mixed mushrooms, sliced jalapeño, and the sliced white portions of your bok choy and green onion. (Save the tender green parts for the end) Saute for approx. 4 minutes or until tender, adding the garlic towards the end and cooking an additional 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add your broth, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Mix well and switch to high heat to bring broth to a boil.
- Once boiling, add shrimp and ramen noodles. Cook for approx 3-4 minutes or until shrimp are curled and opaque and ramen noodles are tender. Add the thinly sliced bok choy and stir to separate noodles.
- Give the broth a little taste and further season if/as desired. A little extra Sriracha will add heat while extra soy sauce will add saltiness.
- Ready to eat? Top ramen and broth with the sliced green onion tops and any extras your heart desires. You can check out the blog post for even more tasty topping ideas!
Notes
- Adjust spiciness by varying sriracha, jalapeño quantity, chili oil, or crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use about 4 ounces dried ramen noodles; KA-ME Curly Noodles are a non-fried, seasoning-free option available at common retailers.
- This recipe accommodates fresh or thawed frozen shrimp; peel and clean if buying unprepared.
- Nutritional values are estimates and may vary with additional toppings or ingredient changes.
