Easy Afternoon Broccoli, Shrimp and Pasta

1 package of shrimp Ramen
about 1/2 to 1 cup of broccoli florets
handful of shrimp

Boil the water with the broccoli. After broccoli is half tender fix Ramen according to the directions (I drain most of the water). Heat the handful of shrimp til cooked. Mix the shrimp in with the Ramen and ta-da!

What is good about this meal? It is cheap, quick, and full of nutrients!

Ramen alone is high in fat and salt, whereas the shrimp is a great source of protein and iron, and the broccoli is a also a good source of fiber, and a whole host of vitamins and minerals.

Bad parts of this meal: likely high in sodium and cholesterol....but in retrospect...this is far better than that Big Mac.
