Heat olive oil in a pan and blanch the shrimp with plenty of salt and pepper. Wash and cut the radish, mint, and cherry tomatoes and set aside. Mix fish sauce, lime juice, and coconut sugar in equal parts to make the dressing. (Fish sauce is a must; lime juice can be swapped for lemon juice, and coconut sugar for regular sugar, 😃) Boil the Mama ramen, rinse in cold water, and drain. (Set the powdered soup packet aside for later.) Plate the noodles, stack on the prepared ingredients, and drizzle with the dressing. (Oh, I forgot the fried shallots — you could swap in something crispy like peanuts instead, 😃)
