Asian-Style Peanut Butter Ramen with Spicy Orange Shrimp

Asian peanut noodles are a staple in our home, but this peanut butter ramen takes flavor to a new level. The shrimp topping is marinated in a sriracha-orange marmalade sauce with everyday ingredients (as noted below, this would work great with tofu for a vegetarian option!), and served atop a creamy, saucy, lightly sweet, spicy nest of noodles.

This recipe with photo for peanut butter ramen was shared with us by the Southern Peanut Growers.

This peanut butter ramen was a winning entry in the Peanut Butter Lovers’ annual “PB My Way” recipe contest showcasing all-time favorite peanut butter dishes. As is, this recipe contains a light smattering of red bell pepper and sneaks in some cabbage slaw mix. But if you are feeling bolder with your veggies, swap in broccoli or bok choy and add some julienned carrots.

Special Diet Notes: Peanut Butter Ramen with Spicy Orange Shrimp

By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, and tree nut-free.

For gluten-free peanut butter ramen, use wheat-free tamari in place of the soy sauce, and swap in your favorite gluten-free noodles. All buckwheat soba would be particularly amazing.

For vegan / plant-based peanut butter ramen, swap in cubed, extra-firm tofu for the shrimp – it will soak up that delicious spicy-orange sauce!
