Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 packs Ramen noodles (uncooked, 3-ounce pack)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1.5 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 pieces Foil sheets (for pouches)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).

Step 2

Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x18 inches, and set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chicken (or vegetable) broth. Stir well to create a flavorful sauce.

Step 4

Break the uncooked ramen noodles into smaller chunks and distribute them evenly among the four foil sheets, placing them in the center of each sheet.

Step 5

Place three shrimp on top of the ramen noodles in each pouch.

Step 6

Divide the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and half of the green onions evenly, placing them on top of the shrimp in each pouch.

Step 7

Spoon a generous amount of the prepared sauce over the shrimp, vegetables, and noodles in each pouch, ensuring that the liquid is evenly distributed to help cook the noodles.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes over the contents of each pouch for added heat.

Step 9

Carefully fold the edges of each foil sheet upward and then fold them together to create a tightly sealed pouch that traps the steam during cooking.

Step 10

Place the foil pouches on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the noodles are tender.

Step 11

Remove the pouches from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before carefully opening them. Be cautious of the hot steam that escapes when opening.

Step 12

Garnish each pouch with the remaining green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 13

Serve the pouches directly on plates for a fun and interactive dining experience. Optionally, pair with lime wedges for a zesty touch.
