Ingredients
- handful green beans
- 1/8 head cabbage chopped
- 2 pcs carrots grated
- 1/2 pc onion roughly chopped
- 6 pcs garlic cloves minced
- olive oil and butter as needed

- 1/2 kilo shrimp peeled
- 5 cups water
- 10 oz rice vermicelli noodles
Instructions
- Peel the shrimp. Place the shrimp peels in a sauce pan.

- Cut your vegetables (onions, garlic, green beans, cabbage, carrots). Place the vegetable peels in the simmering shrimp broth.
- In another pan, add butter or olive oil. Stir fry the veggies one by one (except the cabbage), adding a little bit of salt each time to layer the flavors. Remove from pan.
- Half-cook the shrimp, add salt and pepper. Remove from pan.
- Strain the shrimp broth into the pan where you stir fried the veggies and shrimp.
- Add the rice vermicelli noodles. Cook until soft. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cabbage and shrimp (so the shrimp can finish cooking).
- Add remaining stir-fried veggies.
- Serve.
