Garlic Shrimp Ramen – Turn those instant ramen noodles into a delicious 30-minute dinner by adding flavorful garlic shrimp and broccoli to the mix!
Garlic Shrimp and broccoli, oh how I love them… They add LIFE to boring ramen noodles!
Heeey, friends! Welcome to the blog of shortcuts, one-pots, and delicious-lots!
Doesn’t it seem like all I ever make is stuff that can come together in 30 minutes or less? And use just one pot or pan? Or just parchment paper?
The less clean-up, the better, yo. The less I have to slave over the stove…again, the better. Amiright or amisoright?
Sooo… to find the most delicious meal that doesn’t include too much slaving around the kitchen because, you’ve got 2 little kids with 102 fevers and one big kid with no fever, but a slight cough and a sneeze here-and-there that he thinks is going to kill him?! Yep! That’s how this Garlic Shrimp Ramen thing got started.
P.S. Sorry about that run-on sentence up there… I ain’t mad at him or anything… can you tell?!?
Pimping out my ramen noodles is one of my fave things, you guys. It started back in college. I would legit grill some chicken, slice it up, and toss it with 3-minute ramen noodles + frozen stir fry veggies. Best idea, ev.ver.
And that’s basically what we’re going to do here, too. ‘Cept, we are going to cook the ramen on the stovetop and not the microwave. A.K.A. Adulting.
But first… hello pretty garlicky shrimp!
These guys will only take minutes to prepare and you’ll want to dive head first into that delicious mess. It’s just a mix of good amount of garlic with olive oil and a pat of butter. VERY. GOOD. STUFF.
Once those are done, we’re going to put them aside and continue to work with the veggies and noodles.
Onions and broccoli are tossed in olive oil and cooked just until tender. Broken up ramen noodles will join the broc mix together with some veggie broth and the prepared shrimp.
5 minutes later, THIS is what you’ve got
BOOM!
Hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
ENJOY!
