Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add noodles and cook until just tender, ~4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high. Add laksa paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, ~1 minute.
Step 3
Pour in coconut milk and broth, stirring to break up the paste. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, 3–4 minutes. Do not stir constantly; let them sear lightly.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice into the broth. Taste and adjust with salt and more lime as needed.
Step 6
Divide noodles between bowls, ladle broth and shrimp over top, and scatter green onions on the surface.
