Method
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice vermicelli and cook until just tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or wok over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and minced shallot, stirring constantly until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
3
Add the balichão (if using), stirring well to combine with the aromatics for about 30 seconds.
4
Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices, about 3-4 minutes.
5
Pour in approximately 6 cups of water or shrimp broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
6
Add the shrimp to the simmering broth and cook until they turn pink and opaque throughout, approximately 4-5 minutes.
7
Add the cooked rice vermicelli to the pot and stir to distribute evenly throughout the soup.
8
Season the soup generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
9
Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish each serving with chopped scallion and fresh cilantro sprigs.
