Panang Curry Rice Noodle Soup with Shrimp
If you want a perfect combination of a traditional curry mixed with a creamy noodle soup, this Panang Curry Rice Noodle Soup with Shrimp recipe is perfect for you. It takes the nutty and delicious flavors of panang curry and mixes it with a creamy rice noodle soup. And the best part of it all is its super simple. It also would be great with any variation of veggies. I used carrots, mushrooms and bok choy but it would be great with bell peppers, beans or really any other vegetable you have on hand. I recommend using Mae Ploy Panang Curry Paste as I find its the best flavor of any of the ones I tried!
