Instructions
- Marinate Shrimp: In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lime juice. Marinate for 30 minutes. Skewer shrimp and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: In a sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Gochujang, and heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce is heated and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and fold in chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Notes
- For extra heat, add more Gochujang or red pepper flakes.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to preference.
- Marinating the shrimp longer than 30 minutes can intensify the flavor, but avoid over-marinating to prevent texture change.
- You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice if preferred.
