- Place glass noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 12 minutes or until they begin to soften. Drain well and snip noodles a few times with scissors.
- While noodles are soaking, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.
- To prepare Nam Jim Sauce, place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, but not pureed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Place shrimp in a heavy, medium sized pot in a single layer and place the bacon and soaked. drained glass noodles on top. Add scallions, celery, ginger and sliced chiles, then pour sauce over the top.
- Cover pot and set over high heat. Cook until sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes. Use tongs to stir the noodles and bring the shrimp to the top, flipping the shrimp cooked side up. Cover again and cook until the shrimp are cooked through and the noodles have absorbed the sauce, about 2 minutes more.
- Serve immediately garnished with additional sliced chilies and cilantro and Nam Jim Sauce.
