Boil for 4-5 minutes until the broth tastes herbal. if you're using fresh ingredients, 4-5 minutes should be enough. In a separate pan, boil the mushrooms in plain water. After you've boiled 4-5 minutes, add a pinch of salt and the shrimp. Strain the cooked mushrooms and add them to the soup as well. Cook until shrimp turn pink, about a minute. Add the fish sauce and remove from heat. You will now season the soup. Add lime juice, chili paste, smashed fresh chilies. Taste the soup. Is it sour? Is it salty?

If doing this step you'll need to add a bit more lime juice and fish sauce as the milk tames it down a bit. Add about a teaspoon more of each. Add cilantro and serve.
