Spicy Shrimp & Burger Ramen Soup

I had an extra pound and a half of ground beef in the fridge that I took out for dinner the previous night (Taco Tuesday) and did not use. It was defrosted, so I couldn’t re-freeze it, and was out of cheese and bacon and a myriad of other things I needed to make any number of the keto recipes that I wanted to use it for.

So, as I am apt to do at times such as these, I gathered up what I did have in the house and took stock to see what would combine with what to make a meal. This Spicy Shrimp & Burger Ramen Soup came out of that inventory check.

Not surprisingly, The Man-Thing and Teen #2 were apprehensive about trying out this “concoction” of mine. Scaredy-cats, they never want to try anything new unless it is THEIR idea or THEIR recipe! However, once they saw me inhaling dinner, they decided to give it a shot as well, and actually liked it! (Well why wouldn’t they? Everything I included in this meal was something they each enjoyed eating separately!)

Notes

This recipe is easily adaptable to suit your tastes. Add more spices and hot sauce to kick the heat up. You can also add green or red peppers, jalapeno peppers, diced chiles, etc. or top with cheese, add scrambled eggs – the sky is the limit!

There are so many different ways you can kick this up a notch. Add some peppers, give it an Asian flair, the sky is the limit really!

If you decide to adopt the recipe and change it up please let me know! I would love to see what you do with it and give it a go myself!
