Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

8 oz rice noodles preferably thin or medium
1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
1 can coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger grated fresh
2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
1 cup fresh spinach

Equipment

Large pot for boiling noodles
Skillet or wok for cooking shrimp and sauce
Cooking spoon or spatula
Knife for chopping
Cutting board

Method

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté until fragrant and just beginning to brown, about 30 seconds.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes glossy and fragrant.
Stir in soy sauce and lime juice. Add the cooked shrimp and fresh spinach to the skillet, tossing gently until spinach wilts and everything is coated evenly with the sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Spoon the shrimp and coconut sauce over the noodles, ensuring even distribution. Garnish with additional lime or herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped cilantro or a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.
