Spicy Shrimp Ramen Bowls
Spicy Shrimp Ramen Bowls combine fresh shrimp and a mixture of mushrooms with baby bok choy and scallions in a flavorful broth seasoned with sriracha and soy sauce. Garlic and jalapeño add aromatic heat, while sesame oil enhances the richness. The broth simmers with vegetables and shrimp before cooked ramen noodles are added, resulting in a spicy, warming noodle soup that highlights contrasting textures and bold flavors.
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.
