I've made this a bunch of times, since I had quite a bit of genuine Tony Chachere's creole seasoning to use up. I also had genuine Texas Pete hot sauce too. But my noodles were "Top Ramen" (Nissin) brand, not Maruchan. This is pretty tasty stuff, but since I usually find the seasoning packet alone to be a little too spicy (meaning seasoned, not hot), this was even more so. I might suggest cutting down on the spices here - I know it's suggested that these are approximations anyway. At first I used 20-to-30 count shrimp, but they were already cooked (pink), so I then switched to larger 16-to-20 count uncooked shrimp, for more shrimp goodness. I also drained various amounts of water from the soup; I think I prefer leaving more than the 1/4 cup mentioned in the recipe. But it also occurs to me that this might be good after having been totally drained. I also think that multiplying this recipe might make a nice family-size dish. All in all, this is a quick and easy and tasty recipe; shame I never thought of anything like this when I began eating shrimp-flavored ramen decades ago!
