Shrimp Noodle Soup Recipes

ASIAN SHRIMP NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp, reserving the shells. Set the peeled shrimp aside. Combine the vegetable stock and reserved shrimp shells in a saucepan. Simmer together for 30 minutes. Then strain out and discard the shrimp shells, reserving the stock.
• Heat a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and lightly sauté the onion, carrot and celery until tender - about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, chili pepper halves and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved vegetable stock and coconut milk, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate bowl or saucepan, pour boiling water over the rice noodles and let them sit while the soup simmers.
• Drain and add the noodles to the soup, along with the shrimp, soy sauce and scallions. Simmer just until the shrimp is pink and opaque - about 2 to 4 minutes. Add the cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.
