- Heat oil and sauté vegetables: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and cook for 4 minutes until they soften.

- Finish with lime juice and serve: Stir in the lime juice to add a fresh tang. Serve the soup immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro, green onions, and Thai chilies if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, add more Thai red curry paste or fresh Thai chilies to taste.
- Rice noodles cook quickly; avoid overcooking them to prevent mushiness.
- Adjust fish sauce and lime juice according to your taste preference for saltiness and acidity.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with tofu and use vegetarian fish sauce or soy sauce.
