The combination of the noodles, shrimp, and seasonings creates a delicious savory taste that is like no other. 

The garlic and soy sauce help to enhance the flavors of each ingredient, making them perfectly balanced.

The texture of the shrimp, along with the ramen noodles and the crunch of the fresh veggies, makes for an enjoyable yet fulfilling meal.

You’ll need:

For The Sauce:

  • ¼ cup of regular soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of sriracha 
  • ¼ teaspoon of white ground pepper

PRO TIP:

Dark soy sauce is different from standard soy sauce. It is thicker and has a deeper and richer flavor. You can omit it and just use all standard soy sauce if desired; however, your sauce will not be quite as rich. 

For The Shrimp And Noodles:

  • 3 (3-ounce) packages of ramen noodles (do not use the flavor packets)
  • 3 tablespoons of canola oil, divided into 1 tablespoon and 2 tablespoons
  • 1 pound of medium (51-60 size) shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)

For The Vegetables:

  • 1 cup of diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup of sliced baby portabella mushrooms
  • 1 cup of broccoli florets, broken into small bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup of diced yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons of sliced scallions (green onions), optional garnish
  • 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame seeds, optional garnish

Substitutions And Additions

PEPPERS: You can substitute yellow or green bell peppers for red pepper in this stir fry.

WHITE PEPPER: You can omit the white pepper if you cannot find it in your local store.

SRIRACHA: You can substitute 1 teaspoon of hot sauce or ½ teaspoon of chili oil for the sriracha.

VEGGIES: You can add other veggies that you enjoy in your stir fry recipes. Try snow peas, bok choy, bean sprouts, or water chestnuts.

VEGETARIAN: If you want to make this recipe vegetarian, you can replace the shrimp with tofu for a delicious option.

MUSHROOMS: I often will either use white button mushrooms or baby Bella mushrooms for this recipe.

Both options will cook the same and taste great. If your grocery store sells them pre-sliced, this will save some prep time for you.

GINGER & GARLIC: I like to keep a jar of minced garlic and a tube of grated ginger in my refrigerator to use in lots of recipes.

It makes it much easier to whisk up a quick sauce than fresh garlic and ginger root.

These items can be found in the produce section of your grocery store.

OIL: You can use peanut, vegetable, or grapeseed oil for this easy recipe. You want to use a neutral oil with a higher smoke point since you are cooking at such a high heat.

How To Make This Shrimp With Ramen Recipe

To make this shrimp ramen stir fry, the first step is to combine all the ingredients to create the sauce.

The ingredients are then stir-fried together and tossed with the sauce to create this quick and easy dish.

STEP ONE: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, seasoned rice wine vinegar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, grated garlic, oyster sauce, sriracha, and white ground pepper. Set aside.

STEP TWO: In a 3 to 4-quart saucepot, over medium-high heat, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.

Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook ramen noodles for two to three minutes or just until the noodles begin to soften.

Drain and rinse the noodles in cool water to stop the cooking process. Set the noodles aside.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

You don’t need the seasoning packet that comes in the ramen packages. You can either toss them or keep them for another recipe in the future.

STEP THREE: In a large 10 to 12-inch skillet, over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of the canola oil.

STEP FOUR: Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for three to four minutes or just until pink.

Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate to set aside.

PRO TIP:

If you are using shrimp that has been frozen, be sure that you thaw them completely according to the package directions.

Thoroughly pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the hot skillet.

STEP FIVE: Add the remaining two tablespoons of canola oil to the skillet and add the diced red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets, and diced yellow onion.

Cook the vegetables for five to six minutes or until tender.

PRO TIP:

When dicing your red bell pepper and yellow onions, try to keep them roughly the same size. Your broccoli florets need to be approximately the same size as well. This ensures that your vegetables cook at the same rate.

STEP SIX: Turn the heat down to medium and add the cooked shrimp, noodles, and sauce to the skillet with the vegetables.

STEP EIGHT: Transfer the shrimp with ramen to a large serving dish and garnish with the optional sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

How To Serve

Shrimp with ramen is a delicious and savory dish that really doesn’t need anything else to provide a filling meal for your family. 

If you would like a little something extra, a salad such as our Asian cucumber salad or tomato cucumber salad would add a bit more freshness to your meal.

If ramen noodles are a favorite in your home, there is no reason you can’t take them to the next level. Check out our chicken ramen stir fry and ramen noodle salad for more ideas.

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE: You will need to note that the longer the noodles sit, the more they will absorb the sauce and become soft.

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to two days.

IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing this dish, especially if you are using shrimp that were previously frozen.

    This was delicious. Followed it pretty much as it was written I didn’t have hoisin sauce, so I added peanut butter instead also didn’t have any broccoli, so I added spinach. Would definitely make this again..
