Description

This Spicy Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage & Shrimp Ramen is a perfect blend of comfort and spice!

Ingredients

Scale

12–14 medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
2 jalapeño cheddar sausages, sliced
2 soft-boiled eggs (6–7 minutes, peeled)
1 jalapeño, sliced
2 tbsp green onions, chopped
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp chili powder
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk or half & half
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp cream cheese
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp chili oil (optional)
1 ramen noodle block (or 2 for larger portions)

Instructions

Begin by seasoning the shrimp to pack them with flavor. In a mixing bowl, combine paprika, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, along with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp in this mixture ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and sear them for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and have a slight char. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced jalapeño cheddar sausage. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside with the shrimp.
In a large pot, melt the butter combined with a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, diced onions, and red bell peppers. Sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, bringing to a gentle simmer. Slowly stir in the milk or half & half, then gradually add cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until smooth.
Add the ramen noodle block directly into the broth and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
Return the seared shrimp and sausage to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Allow everything to meld together for another minute. Top with halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced jalapeños, and fresh chopped green onions.

Notes
