Instructions

Prepare the wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss wings with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake 35–40 minutes until crispy and cooked through, flipping halfway. Toss wings in BBQ sauce, honey, and hot sauce (if using) before serving.
Cook the jambalaya ramen: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté sausage, shrimp, onion, and bell peppers until shrimp is cooked and vegetables are softened. Add garlic, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika; cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add liquids and noodles: Stir in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer. Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender.
Serve: Divide jambalaya ramen into bowls. Top with Cajun BBQ wings and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra spice, increase Cajun seasoning or add a dash of cayenne.
Substitute ramen noodles with udon or rice noodles for a different texture.
Wings can be grilled instead of baked for smoky flavor.
