I am a huge fan of Thai food and ramen. So this Thai Shrimp Noodle soup is a combination of my two favorite things and the end result is lip-smackingly delicious. The soup is everyone’s favorite Tom Yum.

What sets this Thai shrimp noodle soup apart from other recipes you will fine online is its authentic and amazing taste. You won’t find a better recipe online, I can guarantee you that.

It’s slightly different from my Tom Yum Noodle Soup recipe because I added evaporated cream in this recipe. It tastes like you are eating in Bangkok!

  • 6 kaffir lime leaves, bruised
  • 5 slices fresh galangal
  • 1 to tomato, cut into wedges
  • 6 oz. shrimp, medium-sized, shelled and deveined

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce , or to taste
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • cilantro leaves , for garnishing

Instructions 

  • Prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, discarding the seasoning packets. Cook until al dente, then rinse with cold water and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in another pot. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal, and let it boil for 1 minute. Then, add the tomatoes, shrimp, mushrooms, and nam prik pao.

If you can’t find kaffir lime leaves or galangal, skip them. You can buy Nam Prik Pao from Amazon. You can’t make a real and authentic Thai soup without it.

      That’s fine.

  2. Gao says:

    I swear, if there’s one Thai food that I can’t miss to eat every week that is the shrimp noodle soup. This soup is really my comfort food. It’s very easy to cook, creamy, flavorful and it hits the perfect spot between silky-creaminess and fire-breathing flavor.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Great, I am happy that you love Thai shrimp noodle soup.

  3. Denise says:

    I found the exact paste! Yaye! Got the lemongrass and lime leaves today — am I overthinking ramen? I just bought two 59 cents packages that come with the seasonings (which I won’t use) at the Asian supermarket. Didn’t see any plain packages of ramen? I’m so particular ha! Making this tonight YAYE!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Yes you got everything right, yes toss away the seasonings of the ramen and you are golden. I am so glad you get to try the Thai Shrimp Noodle Soup.

        I realized I asked that question before actually READING the recipe directions! I usually just focus on the ingredients ha!!! So many times I have gone to read a recipe for dinner and realized after reading it, that the meal will take hours to make! OOPS! I need to get better at that.. This soup is so good, I am wondering how I can use some galangal, leftover lime leaves, leftover evaporated milk and that paste just to make a tasty drink!! :)

    All I can say is that it’s been a blessing to find this site. I just tried this soup and it was awesome all the flavors just come alive !! Thank you ! I’ve tried both the chili cilantro and chili lime chicken and they were superb too!! Fried rice and spring egg rolls are up next!!

    Made this today. Added the tomato as a garnish, next time will add with mushrooms and prawns. Spent about an hour in my local asian grocery trying to find Nam Prik Pao. Staff also didn’t know what it was. In the end we selected a chilli paste made in Thailand, figuring it must be close. Imagine my surprise when I got home and saw your picture. I had bought the exact same one – Pantai brand.
    The result was to die for. It was absolutely delicious

  6. Dave says:

    It’s just too sweet, not spicy at all.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Sweet. There is no sugar in the recipe. Did you use the chili oil with the nam prik pao. The nam prik pao should be mixed with oil and the chili paste. When you use the 3 tablespoons, also must mix in with the oil and not just the paste. If it’s still not spicy, you can add a few pounded bird’s eye chilies.

    Great recipe, I couldn’t find the galangal or kafir leaves , But it still was amazing. It was easy to make and my family really loved it. Thank you.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Daniel, awesome, so happy that you tried this Thai shrimp noodle soup! :)

    Spectacular recipe! I personally think that Tom Yum is the world’s best chicken soup, but the addition of noodles makes this soup a meal. I can actually buy galangal in my local supermarket, leaving kaffir lime leaves and lemon grass as the difficult ingredients, although I grow my own lemongrass in the summer and freeze some. I use slices of lime peel as a substitute for the kaffir lime, and grabbed some lemongrass from my freezer–some loss of flavor, but I do what I can. Fresh ramen noodles would have been better, but the dried were still good and certainly budget friendly

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Janet, agreed. I am so glad that you liked this Thai Shrimp Noodle Soup. So yummy!

  9. Gotn says:

    The evaporated milk is entered when in the cooking?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      It’s in the method. At the same time as fish sauce.

  10. FRIEDA KUSHER says:

    Sounds delicious When do I add the tomato?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Oops sorry for the omission. I updated the recipe, add at the same time as mushrooms and shrimp.
