Equipment
Ingredients
For The Garlic Shrimp
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
For The Ramen Noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 packages (3 ounces, each) ramen noodles broken up (discard the flavor packet)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the garlic and shrimp. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 20 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in the shrimp, season them with salt and pepper, and cook for 15 seconds per side.
- Add butter. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the butter; cook until the butter is melted and the shrimp is pink with browned edges, about 1 to 2 more minutes.
- Remove the shrimp. Transfer the shrimp to a platter and set aside. Do not wide down the skillet.
- Heat the oil. Return the skillet to the burner and add 2 tablespoons cooking oil; cook over medium-high heat until hot.
- Cook the vegetables. Add the onions and broccoli; season with salt and pepper and cook for 4 minutes, or until tender.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Add the broken ramen noodles and vegetable broth to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Continue to cook. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir the shrimp back into the skillet and cook for 20 more seconds.
- Finish and serve. Remove from heat and let stand a couple of 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.
- Garnishes: Green onions, sesame seeds, or furikake add delicious finishing touches.
