Notes

  • you can peel the shrimp before adding it to the broth, or add the shrimp in with the peel. I like to leave the peel on for flavor, then everyone can peel theirs once served.
  • This ramen is moderately spicy. You can decrease the amount of sriracha if you don’t like spicy food.
  • For the noodles, use one serving of noodles per person based on the serving size on the noodle packaging.
