Creamy Spicy Ramen with Shrimp (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Seafood & Noodles

01 - 1.5 pounds large shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined
02 - 2 packs ramen noodles

→ Seasonings & Spices

03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Sauce Ingredients

07 - 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
08 - 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon Gochujang paste
10 - 1/4 cup heavy cream

→ Fresh Items & Cooking Basics

11 - 2 limes
12 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
14 - 1 tablespoon minced garlic
15 - 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
16 - 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
17 - Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F) while you prepare the shrimp.
02 - In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Squeeze juice from half a lime over the mixture. Let everything marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. During this time, soak your wooden skewers in water to prevent burning.
03 - Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Finish with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.
04 - Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook uncovered for 5 minutes until tender. Drain the noodles but don't rinse them - this helps the sauce stick better.
05 - Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
06 - Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Gochujang paste, and heavy cream to the pan. Stir everything until completely smooth and well combined into a silky sauce.
07 - Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
08 - Add the grilled shrimp and cooked ramen noodles to the sauce. Toss everything together until well coated and warmed through. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing of flavor.
