Step 1
Pour the 5 cups of stock into a large pot and place it over high heat, uncovered, until you see large bubbles breaking the surface vigorously, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 0.5 teaspoon of salt into the hot broth until the salt dissolves completely and you cannot see any grains at the bottom.
Step 3
Add the ramen noodles to the broth, spreading them apart with a wooden spoon as they soften, and let them cook at a rolling boil until tender, about 3 minutes for fresh or 4 for dried.
Step 4
Place the shrimp gently into the pot and stir once, then wait until the shrimp turn opaque pink and curl into a C shape, about 2 to 3 minutes — this means they are cooked through.
Step 5
Pour the noodles, shrimp, and broth into two bowls, dividing evenly between them by holding a spoon over each bowl to guide the noodles.
Step 6
Scatter the sliced scallion greens over the top of each bowl in a small pile, then serve immediately while the broth is still steaming hot.
