Ingredients

4 blocks instant ramen noodles
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
4 ears corn on the cob, cut in thirds
4 eggs
4 tbsp butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, juiced
4 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook 4 eggs for 9 minutes for a soft-set yolk. Transfer to ice water, then peel and halve. In the same pot, boil 4 ears cut in thirds corn on the cob for 5 minutes until tender and set aside.
2

Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 6 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3

Stir in 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning and 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, then pour in 4 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4

Add 1 lb sliced smoked sausage and simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavor render into the broth.
5

Add 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until pink, opaque, and reaching an internal temperature of 145F.
6

Meanwhile, discard the seasoning packet and cook 4 blocks instant ramen noodles in a separate pot of boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain.
7

Divide the noodles among bowls. Ladle the shrimp, sausage, and broth over the top, then add the reserved corn and eggs.
8

Squeeze 1 juiced lemon over each bowl and finish with 4 sliced green onions.

Questions

Can I make Seafood Boil Ramen dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 4 tbsp butter, 1 cup heavy cream. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Seafood Boil Ramen gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 4 blocks instant ramen noodles. Swap the pasta for a gluten-free one, cooked a minute short of its package time. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Seafood Boil Ramen keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Seafood Boil Ramen?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
