Shrimp with Ramen Noodles

There’s something deeply comforting about a bowl of noodles, especially when they’re coated in a rich, creamy peanut sauce and tossed with vegetables and shrimp. This shrimp with ramen noodles recipe uses peanut sauce, edamame, and broccoli to find the perfect balance between indulgent and nourishing. It’s quick enough for a weeknight dinner but flavorful enough to feel like a treat.

Easy Shrimp Ramen Stir-Fry

I love this recipe so much because of all the different flavors. You’ve got squiggly ramen noodles soaking up a savory-sweet peanut sauce, crisp-tender broccoli adding freshness, and edamame bringing a subtle nuttiness and extra protein. The cooked shrimp absorb flavor easily, making them the ideal partner for the flavorful sauce.

The peanut sauce is what ties everything together. It’s creamy, slightly sweet, and just enough tang to keep things interesting. Think peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, a splash of vinegar, and a hint of sweetness. They may be simple ingredients but they create something surprisingly complex.

I think the best part of this recipes is that you can use those really cheap packets of ramen noodles in a fun and creative way. Also, using cooked shrimp really takes the guess work out of this recipe. Shrimp is really easy to cook, but a lot of people get nervous about cooking it, so this recipe will ease your mind. When the sauce coats the ramen noodles, it transforms them from simple to deeply satisfying. Add in juicy shrimp, crisp-tender broccoli, and buttery edamame, and you’ve got a bowl full of texture and flavor.

Here is what you need to make this recipe:

• Peanut Sauce – you can use a store-bought version or you can make my quick peanut sauce. In a bowl combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp maple syrup(or honey), 3.5 tbsp sweetened peanut butter, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/3 cup of water
• Ramen Noodles – I bought the cheapest ramen packets I could find and just tossed away the flavor packet.
• Shrimp – I used cooked shrimp for this recipe and it was perfect. Just make sure you thaw it before starting this recipe.
• Vegetables – You can use any vegetables in this recipe but I really love the combination of edamame and small broccoli florets, mainly because I know my kid will eat both of them.
• Miso Ginger Broth – I bought this at Trader Joe’s but other grocery stores have a version as well. If you cannot find this, just use chicken broth but you will need to add some additional flavor to it.
• Ginger/Garlic – A must! Do not skip!
• Soy Sauce – I let my shrimp marinate in a little soy sauce and green onions before I use it in this recipe.
