Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients.

02

Step

In a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in the Sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. (1 minute)

04

Step

Cover the saucepan and allow the broth to simmer, infusing the flavors for 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Prepare the bok choy by slicing each head in half lengthwise, then quartering each half crosswise. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Add the bok choy to the simmering broth, cover, and cook for 2 minutes to tenderize slightly. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the cover and introduce the sliced cremini mushrooms and thinly sliced red bell pepper. Continue cooking for 3 minutes. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ramen noodles (discarding the seasoning packet), and stir constantly to separate the noodles. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the noodles are nearly tender. (4 minutes)

09

Step

Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more Sriracha for extra heat or soy sauce for deeper umami.

10

Step

Stir in the shrimp and freshly-squeezed lime juice. Cook until the shrimp are curled, opaque, and cooked through, approximately 2 to 3 minutes more. (3 minutes)

11

Step

Ladle the Spicy Shrimp Ramen into bowls and garnish generously with sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer broth, consider using homemade chicken stock or adding a tablespoon of miso paste along with the soy sauce.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and availability. Spinach, bean sprouts, or shredded carrots would be excellent additions.
To prevent overcooking the shrimp, ensure they are thoroughly thawed before adding them to the broth. Overcooked shrimp can become rubbery.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your desired level of spiciness. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
For a vegetarian option, omit the shrimp and use vegetable broth. Consider adding tofu or edamame for protein.
