Instructions

  1. In a large stock pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened and onion becomes translucent.[1]
  2. Turn heat to medium high. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 teaspoon of the lime juice, scraping up any browned bits. Add red curry paste and chili paste, cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.[1]
  3. Stir in the rest of the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, and chicken stock. Cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Whisk in coconut milk until completely combined. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Add cilantro stems, mint sprigs, lemongrass sticks, and chili pods. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soup is somewhat thickened.[1]
  4. Remove lemongrass sticks, cilantro, mint and chili pods and discard. Add rice noodles and shrimp. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until noodles are tender and shrimp is cooked through. Add salt to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro, mint, sliced jalapeño and green onion.[1]

Notes

For easier removal, tie together cilantro stems and mint sprigs with cooking twine if desired. Adjust spice level by reducing chili garlic paste or chili pods. Serve with lime wedges for extra brightness.[1]
