Step 1

If using frozen shrimp, place them in a colander and run under cold water to thaw them slightly and remove any ice crystals. (If using fresh shrimp, skip this step.) Place the shrimp on a clean towel or paper towels and pat dry.

Step 2

Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add rice noodles. Soak for 10 minutes or according to package directions. Then drain in a colander and rinse.

Step 3

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Step 4

Peel the carrots; then using the peeler, run it along the carrot to make long, noodle-like strips. Seed and slice bell peppers into thin strips. Trim ends of celery and slice into small pieces. Transfer all to a large bowl.

Step 5

Trim off and discard the ends of the green onions; cut the onions crosswise into small pieces. Add half of the onions to the bowl with the sliced vegetables (reserving the rest for garnish).

Step 6

Peel and mince or grate the ginger. Peel and mince the garlic.

Step 7

Heat a large pot over medium heat.

Step 8

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 9

Add the sliced vegetables, ginger, garlic, and black pepper to the pot. Sauté until soft, 5-6 minutes.

Step 10

Trim off and discard the root end of the cabbage; halve the cabbage lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.

Step 11

Add the cabbage to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage softens, 3-4 minutes.

Step 12

Add the shrimp to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 13

Juice the limes into a small bowl. Add the cornstarch and whisk together.

Step 14

Juice the oranges into the pot; add broth, sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, then stir in the cornstarch mixture. Reduce heat to low, add rice noodles, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

Step 15

Divide between bowls, garnish with remaining green onion, and enjoy!
