"Hot and sour soup is a true culinary gift. The fragrance is tantalizing and the sweet and tart flavors balance deliciously, along with spicy heat. I usually have a bag of shelled and deveined shrimp in the freezer, so the alluring soup provides a great last-minute meal."
"Chilies, even those harvested from the same bush, vary in their amount of fiery heat. Scoville units measure the heat in chili varieties. Red Fresno chilies contain 3,000 to 15,000 Scoville units, while jalapenos generally contain slightly less, between 2,500 to 10,000 Scoville points."
"Add all ingredients except the shrimp and noodles to a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and then add the shrimp and noodles. Simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through."
