Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
1 head broccoli (cut into florets)
0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 package ramen noodles (3 ounce each, flavor packets discarded)
0.25 cup green onions (sliced)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined large shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger to the same skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 head of broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
While broccoli cooks, prepare 2 packages of ramen noodles according to package directions, discarding the flavor packets. Drain well.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the reserved sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, tossing to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the drained ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing everything to combine well. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup of sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like sliced bell peppers or snow peas for extra color and nutrition. Ensure you pat the shrimp dry before cooking for a better sear.
