For The Ramen Noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced

  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 packages (3 ounces, each) ramen noodles, broken up (discard flavor packet)
  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth

Instructions
 

For The Garlic Shrimp
  • Add olive oil and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute on each side.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and add butter; cook until butter is melted and shrimp is pink with browned edges.

For The Ramen Noodles
  • Return the skillet to the burner and add 2 tablespoons olive oil; cook over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add onions and broccoli; season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender.
  • Add broken noodles and vegetable broth to the skillet; mix in previously prepared shrimp and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Cook and stir for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and let stand couple minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Protein: I used shrimp for this recipe, but you can also include cooked chicken, beef, tofu, or a soft-boiled egg for extra heartiness.
  • Veggies: Add spinach, peppers, mushrooms, or corn for more variety.
  • Spice It Up: Use chili oil, sriracha, or pepper flakes for heat.
  • Umami: Miso paste, soy sauce, or fish sauce deepens the flavor of the broth.
  • Aromatics: Enhance flavor with ginger, scallions, or lemongrass.
  • Garnish: Green onions, sesame seeds, or furikake add finishing touches.
