Ingredients

8 oz raw shrimp (fresh or defrosted from frozen)
1 tsp sesame oil or avocado oil
3 TBSP minced shallot
4-6 oz baby portobello mushrooms
4 cups quality vegetable broth*
4 oz ramen noodles
½ tsp soy sauce
2 TBSP Sriracha
2-3 TBSP chopped green onions
½ lime (cut into wedges, plus 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice)

TASTY TOPPING OPTIONS

sesame seeds
red pepper flakes
extra sriracha for drizzling
sliced jalapeño
fresh spinach
bok choy
soft-boiled eggs
chili crisp
edamame

Instructions

Thaw shrimp if using frozen. If you can, buy cleaned tail-on shrimp and keep the tail on for extra flavor for your broth. It basically turns vegetable broth into a seafood stock of sorts and is totally optional but totally tasty! You'll remove the peel/tail before diving in.
In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add a teaspoon of oil and sauté your shallot and mushrooms.
Once golden and tender, remove the veggies (set aside on a plate) and add a quart of broth to your pot.
Bring broth to a boil and cook ramen noodles per package instructions. When you have about a minute left on the noodle's cook time, add soy sauce, Sriracha, and shrimp to the pot.
Stir in your lime juice. Give the broth a little taste and further season if/as desired. Extra Sriracha will add heat while extra soy sauce will add saltiness and umami.
Use tongs to divide your ramen between to 2 bowls. Repeat for your sautéed veggies.
Pour the broth and shrimp over each bowl and top with lime wedges, green onion, sesame seeds and all your favorite toppings from the list above. Enjoy while it's hot!

Notes

* chicken broth may be used in place of veggie broth if needed

Add as much extra shrimp and mushrooms as your heart desires. The recipe above has lunch-appropriate serving sizes but if you need a big ole filling dinner, load it up! This dish is crazy flexible like that.

No shallots? No problem! You could also use minced garlic in place of the shallots, just adjust the amount based on garlic preference. I'd use maybe 1-2 cloves max.
