Popcorn with shrimp

Ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1/4 tbsp. corn kernels for popcorn
• 2 x 90g packages of instant ramen noodles
• 3 cups popcorn shrimp (store-bought or frozen; cooked according to package directions)
• 1 cup green peas in wasabi

Preparation:

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering and smoking slightly. Carefully pour the popcorn into the pan. Cover with a lid slightly ajar and heat, shaking occasionally, until all the kernels have popped.
2. Meanwhile, soak the ramen noodles in warm water until soft, about 4 minutes. Separate the noodles and pat dry. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil until shimmering and smoking slightly, about 2 minutes. Spread about a third of the ramen noodles in an even layer in the skillet. Fry until crispy, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the noodles with a spatula and continue frying until golden brown on the other side, another 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy noodles to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry 2 more batches of noodles in the same manner. Break the crispy noodles into small pieces.
3. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn, ramen noodles, popcorn shrimp, and wasabi peas. Season with the seasoning that came with the noodles to taste.
