Instructions

  1. Soak the noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. Sauté the chopped garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons of oil until golden.
  3. Add the shrimp with their shells and cook until pink for 3 minutes, then remove them, reserving the cooking juices.
  4. Pour the broth into the pan with the paprika and annatto, then bring to a simmer.
  5. Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water and stir it into the broth to make a thick sauce. Add the fish sauce and pepper.
