Steps:
- Heat oil in large skillet or Wok on med-hi heat.
- Add onions and stir, cook for 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and ginger, cook 2 minutes.
- Add next 5 spices, cook 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes, cook 1 minute.
- Add coconut milk, water, and salt, and bring to a simmer until thickened 5-10 minutes.
- Add shrimp, simmer, stirring for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in cilantro, lemon juice and zest.
- Serve over rice noodles with lime wedges.
- Rice Noodle Cooking Directions:.
- Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible as you remove them from the package (always a challenge for us). Bring a good amount of water to boil. Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
- Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up. When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. The thread-like vermicelli noodles used in spring rolls will cook through in just a few minutes. The flat rice noodles might take upwards of ten minutes depending on thickness. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
- Once the noodles are tender, drain them and run them under cool water to stop the cooking. Toss them with a bit of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking to each other if you're not going to use them right away.
- Since these noodles will be used in the above dish, you definitely want to under-cook them a bit. They will absorb more moisture and cook the rest of the way through once in the stir fry. If your noodles are perfectly cooked to start, they will turn to mush in the stir fry.
- Note: This whole recipe can be cut in half including the rice noodles.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make sure the shrimp are evenly coated in the batter, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then dredge the shrimp in the mixture.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the shrimp. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Cook the shrimp in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with the spicy Thai coconut sauce.
