Step 1
Pour the coconut milk and broth into a large pot and place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the laksa paste to the pot and whisk it into the liquid until completely smooth with no lumps, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer — you should see small bubbles breaking the surface regularly — then reduce heat to medium.
Step 4
Add the shrimp to the simmering broth, stirring gently once or twice so they cook evenly.
Step 5
Let the shrimp cook in the simmering broth until they turn pink and opaque throughout, about 4–5 minutes.
Step 6
Squeeze the juice from both lime halves into the pot and stir to distribute the juice evenly.
Step 7
Taste the broth and add a pinch of salt and pepper if needed, then pour the laksa into serving bowls.
