Cook Time: 4 minutes

Total Time: 9 minutes

Servings: 1 nourishing bowl

🛒 Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 1 pack Knorr Quick Serve Macaroni (Shrimp Broth Flavor)
  • Fresh Shrimp (de-shelled, deveined, and chopped to the size of the macaroni pieces)
  • Soy Beans (deshelled)
  • A pinch of Salt and Pepper (to season the shrimp)
  • 530 ml Water
  • A pinch of Ground White Pepper
  • A few drops of pure Sesame Oil


🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Because shrimp cooks incredibly fast, we simmer the macaroni and soy beans first so your seafood stays perfectly tender and juicy:

  1. Season the Shrimp: Lightly toss your prepared chopped shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Boil the Seafood Broth: Pour exactly 530 ml of water into a small pot over high heat. Stir in the included Knorr shrimp broth seasoning powder until fully dissolved.
  3. Cook the Macaroni & Soy Beans: Once your soup base comes to a rolling boil, add the quick-serve macaroni and the deshelled soy beans. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and let them simmer gently for 3 minutes.
  4. Flash-Cook the Shrimp: After 3 minutes, remove the lid and turn the heat back up to high. Stir in your seasoned shrimp. Cook for about 60 seconds just until they turn a beautiful solid white and vibrant orange color.
  5. The Final Flourish: Turn off the heat and pour your steaming hot soup into a deep bowl. Right before serving, elevate the aroma with a dash of ground white pepper and a few drops of sesame oil. Serve immediately!

💡 Pro-Tip for Foodies

Chopping your shrimp to match the exact size of the macaroni isn't just about looks—it ensures the shrimp cooks through evenly in a flash, allowing you to capture a sweet, tender bite of seafood in every single spoonful.
