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
Season shrimp with paprika, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat oil in a skillet and sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
Add sliced jalapeño cheddar sausage to the same pan and cook until browned on both sides; set aside.
Melt butter with a drizzle of oil in a pot, then sauté garlic, onions, and red bell peppers until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce, bring to a gentle simmer, and stir in milk or half & half.
Add cream cheese and shredded cheddar gradually, stirring until the broth becomes smooth and creamy.
Drop the ramen noodles directly into the broth and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
Return the shrimp and sausage to the pot and stir to combine, letting flavors meld for a minute.
Top with soft-boiled eggs, sliced jalapeños, and chopped green onions before serving.
Optional: Add a drizzle of chili oil or gochujang for extra spice.
Notes
Use high-quality jalapeño cheddar sausage for the best flavor and melt.
Reserve the sausage drippings to enhance the broth’s smokiness.
Add cheese slowly to keep the broth silky, not clumpy.
For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduce cream cheese.
Ramen tastes best served immediately to maintain creamy texture.
