Soak the rice noodles in warm water according to package instructions, typically 10-15 minutes, until softened. Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute to release the flavors.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are partially cooked. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Pour the coconut milk into the skillet, along with the fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
Add the sliced bell pepper and snow peas. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked through.
Toss the drained rice noodles into the skillet, mixing them with the sauce until well-coated and heated through.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
