Directions
1. Bring salted water to a boil in a large saucepan.
2. In the meantime, heat a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook on both sides for about 2-3 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and lime juice. Stir until the red curry paste is dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer the soup for 5 minutes.

6. Add the cooked rice noodles and shrimp to the pot with the soup and reheat for 2 minutes.

Tips for the Thai shrimp soup recipe
- Do not cook the rice noodles directly in the Thai curry soup to save time (we know, we tried!). The noodles will release a lot of starch and make the soup thick and clumpy.
