- 1 large carrot, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 (3-ounce) packages ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- Green onions and cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp:

- Lay the shrimp out on a paper towel-lined tray and pat them dry.
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms have softened.

- Stir in the ramen noodles and cook until tender (about 3 minutes).
- Taste the broth and adjust the salt as needed.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the shrimp to the pot and remove from heat.
- Divide into 4 bowls and top with green onions.
- Add soy sauce and hot sauce (such as gochujang or Sriracha) to each serving, as desired.
