Spicy Creamy Shrimp Noodles (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Noodles & Seafood

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

→ Spices & Seasoning

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

→ Creamy Sauce Mix

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

→ Fresh Extras & Basics

11 - 2 limes, halved
12 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13 - 2 tablespoons of butter, unsalted
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
15 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
16 - 1/4 cup parsley, chopped fresh
17 - Optional: sesame seeds for topping

# Instructions:

01 - Fire up your grill to about 350°F (medium heat) while you handle the shrimp prep.
02 - Mix the shrimp in a bowl with smoked paprika, a splash of olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Squeeze half a lime over the shrimp for zest. Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes. During this wait, soak wooden skewers in water so they don’t catch fire.
03 - Stick the seasoned shrimp on soaked skewers. Cook them on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re pink and cooked through. Add a fresh lime squeeze to brighten them up.
04 - In a big pot, boil water. Toss in the ramen and cook (no lid) for 5 minutes. Drain well but don't rinse it—this keeps the sauce sticking later.
05 - Heat up a sautée pan at medium heat. Drop in your butter and garlic, cooking for a minute or two until it smells amazing, but isn’t brown.
06 - Pour in cream, hoisin, soy, and Gochujang. Stir until the sauce is completely smooth and everything blends together like silk.
07 - Toss in the Parmesan and parsley into the sauce. Stir it around until the cheese melts right in.
08 - Mix the grilled shrimp and noodles into your creamy sauce. Toss until it’s hot and all coated. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you like and serve with lime wedges for extra zing.

# Notes:

01 - This is a Korean-Italian inspired meal featuring hoisin, gochujang, and Parmesan for a one-of-a-kind flavor.
