Homemade ramen noodle soup that is all made in one pot and ready in 30 minutes. Made with delicious chili lime seasoned broth, shrimp and lots of ramen noodles. A little spicy and so so good!!
I originally published my Chili Lime Shrimp Ramen recipe back in 2017!! It was one of the very first recipes I shared on my website, and I can't believe how popular it has continued to be! It's always been in the top 10 most popular recipes on my website!! You all must love it! So, I figured it was time to update the photos. The old ones were a little cringe-worthy, but that doesn't seem to have stopped anyone from making the recipe.
Since posting the recipe back in 2017, I made a few minor adjustments, including reducing the amount of chili powder. I know I love spicy foods, but I also know a lot of people don't. You can always add more chili powder to taste to kick up the heat! Other than a few measurement changes, the recipe is pretty much identical to the original recipe I posted it back in 2017. I hope everyone continues to love it!!
Ingredients.
Sesame oil. To fry the shrimp, garlic, and ginger. If needed, you can substitute olive oil.
Shrimp. Any size your heart desires.
Chili powder. You can adjust to your desired spice level.
Shallots. Shallots have a milder flavor compared to onions. But, if needed, you can substitute ½ of a small sweet yellow onion.
Garlic cloves. If you prefer to use garlic powder, add it in with the broth.
Fresh ginger. About a one inch knob, peeled and grated. If you prefer to use ground ginger, add it in with the broth.
Chicken broth. If desired, you can use vegetable broth instead.
Soy sauce. I like to use low-sodium.
Lime juice. Fresh squeezed or from a bottle.
Ramen noodles. You will need 4 squares. Discard any seasoning packet.
Fresh spinach. I like the addition of some leafy greens, but it's totally optional.
