Soak the frozen udon into water and set aside for later (see notes).
Over medium heat, add a bit of oil. Once hot enough, add the shrimp to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove when it's 80% cooked.
In the same pan, add a 1/2 tbsp of butter and mushrooms. Sauté for a few minutes until the mushroom is cooked and browns. Then add 1/2 tbsp of butter and the minced garlic, sauté for another 1 minute.
Pour in coconut milk. water, tom yum paste and sugar. Stir until well combined. Drain the udon and add to the pan. Gently stir and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes or until noodles are cooked.
Remove the lid and gently stir until the noodles are coated. Turn heat down to medium low and let it continue simmering for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the shrimp, stir and turn off heat.
Serve while hot with chili oil (optional) and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy!
