- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Juice of 1 lime
Ramen Noodles:

Creamy Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Marinate Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lime juice. Mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors fully.
- Grill Shrimp: Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Preheat the grill and cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil, cook the ramen noodles for 5 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in hoisin sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, Gochujang, and heavy cream, mixing well to combine. Simmer for 2 minutes until heated through.
- Add Herbs and Cheese: Stir in the fresh chopped parsley and shredded Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the grilled shrimp and cooked ramen noodles to the sauce. Toss everything gently to coat with the sauce and heat through for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve: Plate the creamy spicy shrimp ramen and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and lime wedges for an added burst of flavor.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the amount of Gochujang according to your spice preference.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste during marinating and sauce preparation.
- If you don’t have a grill, shrimp can be cooked in a grill pan or skillet with similar timing.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness in the dish.
- Fresh parsley adds brightness; you can substitute with cilantro if preferred.
