Crafting the Peanut Butter Ramen Sauce
Take your taste buds on a trip through the flavors of savory and nutty with this delicious Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles Recipe with Shrimp. To begin with, let us start by making the sauce; it is a delicious blend of low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and PB2 powdered peanut butter. Water can be used to thin the sauce to the appropriate consistency, giving it a silky finish that barely coats a spoon.
Cooking and Assembling the Shrimp Ramen Recipe with Peanut Butter
Toss the jumbo shrimp in a spoonful of the cooked sauce to give them a flavorful boost. Let them absorb the delicious mixture for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, boil some water for the brown rice and millet ramen noodles, and cook for no more than 4 minutes.
Place the sugar snap peas and red bell pepper slices in a heated wok or big skillet. Sear for one to two minutes, or until deep sear marks appear. When the shrimp are fully cooked, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes, add the marinated shrimp to the mixture and toss everything together.
Add the cooked noodles and pour in the prepared sauce while the skillet is on low heat, or take off the heat if needed. Toss to coat all of the ingredients with the rich, peanut deliciousness, including the noodles, carrots, and shrimp.
