Step 1
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Whisk chickpea flour with 0.5 cup cold water until smooth, then slowly pour into boiling water while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 3
Add ginger, fish sauce, and tamarind paste. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until the broth turns silky and darkens slightly.
Step 4
Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and curl, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or fish sauce.
Step 5
Divide noodles or rice between bowls, pour broth and shrimp over top, and scatter fried shallots on each.
Step 6
Squeeze lime wedge over the bowl and serve immediately.
