Peel and devein the shrimp. cut the squid into rings. Remove the tough outer layer of lemongrass and cut into sections.

Add the seafood and stir-fry for 2 minutes until opaque. Toss in tomato mince and Thai chili sauce, stir-fry for 1 minute. Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice, simmer for 3 minutes to make the spicy-sour sauce.

3.Toss & serve

Add the cooked pasta to the pan, toss well until every strand is evenly coated with the sauce. Sprinkle chopped kaffir lime leaves on top. It’s spicy, sour, and incredibly appetizing—perfect with meals!
