• 1½ sticks unsalted butter
• 1 seafood/crab boil seasoning pack (Zatarain’s or similar)
• 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
• 4 large eggs
• 12 oz smoked sausage (Roger Wood or your favorite), sliced
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 oz jumbo lump crab meat
• 1 lb snow crab legs

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

• 4 sticks unsalted butter

• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 tbsp hot sauce
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• More Old Bay to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with the Boil

Boil your corn and potatoes in a large stockpot.

• Fill with enough water to cover.
• Add 1½ sticks of butter, the crab boil seasoning pack, and Old Bay.
• Boil for 35 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

While that’s cooking…

2. Get Your Eggs & Sausage Going

• Boil your eggs separately for 9-10 minutes. Cool and peel.
• Slice the sausage and fry in a pan for 5 minutes until browned.
• Add the sausage to the main pot. Let it all simmer together for another 10 minutes.

3. Cook the Shrimp & Crab

• Season the shrimp with a light dusting of Old Bay or your favorite seafood seasoning.
• Add the shrimp, jumbo lump crab, and snow crab legs to the pot.
• Simmer for 15 minutes. Don’t overcook — the shrimp should be pink and plump.

The Game-Changer: Garlic Butter Sauce

Here’s where the magic happens.

In a separate saucepan:

• Melt 4 sticks of butter.
• Add garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Sauté until soft.
• Stir in chicken broth, hot sauce, Worcestershire, lemon juice, brown sugar, and crab boil oil.
• Add fresh parsley and more Old Bay. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Taste it.
Adjust heat and salt to your liking.
This sauce is the soul of your ramen bowl.

Cook the Ramen

While the sauce simmers:

• Boil the ramen noodles according to package directions (skip the flavor packet).
• Add 1 tsp of chicken bouillon to the water for extra flavor.
• Drain and toss into a serving bowl.

Build Your Bowl

Here’s where it all comes together.

Layer it up like this:

1. Ramen noodles at the bottom.
2. Ladle on a generous amount of the seafood boil — potatoes, corn, sausage, shrimp, crab, and halved boiled eggs.
3. Pour the garlic butter sauce over everything.
4. Top with more fresh parsley and a final dusting of Old Bay.

You now have a bowl of seafood boiled ramen that’s straight-up unforgettable.

Pro Tips

Common Questions

Can I use frozen seafood?
Yes. Just thaw completely and pat dry before cooking.

Is it okay to make the sauce ahead?
Absolutely. The garlic butter sauce stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently.

What can I substitute for crab?
Use lobster, scallops, or more shrimp. You can even make it surf and turf with steak strips.

Nope. This works with rice, udon, or even pasta. But ramen hits just right.
