Notes

Yellow Curry Paste: store bought or homemade. 1 small packet is about 2 tablespoon pr 50 grams. Some packets are larger (70 grams).

Shrimp: Take off the tails to serve your soup. If you use fresh shrimp with the shell, clean the shrimp first. Rinsed shells can be used to make a shrimp stock, just as I did in the lobster stock. This stock can be used instead of the broth in the recipe.

Noodles: You can use any Asian noodles. That can be lo mein noodles, ramen noodles, udon noodles, angel hair noodles etc.

Thai Basil or Cilantro: Pick your favorite green topping. I used Indian Holy Tulsi (also called Sweet Basil) in the pictures because that's what I had growing at home. You can use, Thai basil too, cilantro, garden cress, or any green herb that is refreshing in flavor.

I forgot to mention the lime juice in the video, but it's anyway optional. I like adding a few drops at the end to serve.
