How to make Thai Spicy Shrimp Noodle Soup
- Make the flavor base: Sauté the onions and bell pepper in a hot, oiled pot. Then add the garlic, ginger and red curry paste.
- Add the liquids: Stir in the coconut milk, broth, and fish sauce.
- Cook the shrimp & noodles: Add the shrimp and rice noodles to the pot and let them sit for a few minutes.
- Add lime & garnish: Stir in your lime juice. Garnish the soup with cilantro, green onions, and Thai red chilies, if desired.
Pro Tip: Only let the noodles cook in the soup for a few minutes (just until they are tender) and then serve the soup right away. If the noodles sit in the soup for too long after cooking it, they will absorb most of the liquid and you will be left with a pot of shrimp and noodles.
For this Thai Spicy Shrimp Noodle Soup recipe, I recommend:
- Thai Red Curry Paste – This is one I use and love! It gives amazing, authentic flavor to Thai dishes and adds the perfect amount of heat.
- Coconut Milk – I love the taste and consistency of this brand. It adds so much body and richness to soups and curries.
- Citrus Juicer – If you cook with a lot of citrus, a sturdy juicer is a must. This one works for both lemons and limes and will squeeze out every last drop of juice like a pro. Worth every penny.
