Instructions
- In a pot, cook the pasta in salted water according to the directions on the package.
- In another pot, prepare the shrimp stock by pouring in the chicken stock and simmering with the shrimp shells for a few minutes. Remove the shells by straining and set aside.
- Cut the white part of the lemongrass into thin, circular pieces. Mince the thai chilis and garlic. Use a mortar and pestle to crush the chili, garlic, and lemongrass mixture. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, mincing the ingredients should do the trick too, but it does release the flavor more (and it’s always fun to use).
- Saute the lemongrass garlic chili mixture in a skillet with cooking spray. Add in the mushrooms, corn, and onion into the mix.
- Once vegetables have softened, add in the shrimp. Cook for about 1-2 minutes each side or until the shrimp begins to curl.
- Add in the finished noodles and shrimp stock, and Tom Yum paste block and mix thoroughly.
- Remove from heat, garnish with cilantro and cheese, and enjoy!
