How to Make Spicy Thai Coconut Shrimp With Rice Noodles

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and stir-fry for 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon red curry paste, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk and 1/2 cup water. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  7. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon lime zest.
  9. Serve immediately over cooked rice noodles. Garnish with lime wedges.
  10. **Rice Noodle Preparation:**
  11. Place 8 ounces of rice noodles in a large heatproof bowl.
  12. Boil 4 cups of water.
  13. Pour boiling water over the noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  14. Let stand for 5-10 minutes (depending on noodle type), stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy. Thinner noodles will cook faster.
  15. Drain noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  16. Undercook noodles slightly, as they will continue cooking in the stir-fry.
