HOT AND SOUR SHRIMP SOUP

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 soup servings or 4 main-cour

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound medium shrimp
2 fresh lemongrass stalks
4 fresh or dried kaffir lime leaves, or 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
6 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon fish sauce, or salt, to taste
3 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon chile paste
1 (15-ounce) can straw mushrooms, or 12 medium fresh mushrooms
3 fresh hot green chiles, for garnish
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Wash the raw shrimp, then peel and devein, saving the peelings. Wash the shrimp again, drain and pat dry. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Cut each lemongrass stick into 3 (2-inch) pieces, starting from the rounded bottom end; discard the straw-like top. Lightly crush the 6 pieces with a heavy pestle, a mallet, or the blade of a knife.
  • Combine the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, the stock, and shrimp peelings in a pan. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer very gently for 20 minutes. Strain this stock and return to the rinsed-out pan.
  • Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and chile paste. Stir and taste again, adding more fish sauce or lime juice if required.
  • Drain the straw mushrooms and add them to the seasoned stock. If using fresh mushrooms cut into quarters, drop into lightly salted boiling water, and boil for 1 minute. Drain and add to the seasoned stock. (The soup may be prepared to this stage several hours ahead if necessary and refrigerated.)
  • Prepare the garnishes shortly before you are ready to serve the soup. Cut the green chilies into very fine rounds, and wash and dry the cilantro leaves.
  • Just before serving, heat the stock with the mushrooms in it. When it begins to bubble, drop in the peeled shrimp. Cook over a medium heat for about 2 minutes or just until the shrimp turn opaque. Serve the soup immediately in individual bowls, garnished with the green chiles and cilantro leaves.

3 stalks lemongrass, green parts and hard outer layers removed, sliced in half lengthwise, and lightly bruised
3 cilantro roots or 10 stems, rinsed well
6 kaffir-lime leaves, torn, or zest of 1 lime, removed with a peeler in strips and julienned

  • Peel and devein shrimp, reserving 10 shells. Rinse shrimp, pat dry, and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat oil over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add dried chiles and reserved shrimp shells, and cook, stirring, until chiles turn black and shells turn pink, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chiles and shells to a square of cheesecloth. Tie securely with kitchen twine, and return to saucepan.

Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice. Taste again; there should be an equal balance of spicy, salty, and sour flavors. Garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.

Categories     one pot, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield About 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds medium shrimp, shells on
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
1 2-inch piece ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried chili powder
1 cup tomatoes, chopped and stewed
1 tablespoon roasted sesame-seed oil

2 teaspoons Vietnamese fish sauce
4 scallions, julienned
2 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
3/4 teaspoons sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • To make the broth, peel the shrimp, saving the shells (about 5 cups). Refrigerate the shrimp. In a heavy pot, heat the oil over high heat. When nearly smoking, add the shells, lemongrass, ginger and chili powder and toss for 3 minutes, or until the shells are toasted. Add 8 cups water and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, or until reduced by half. Strain the broth through a fine sieve, pressing down on the shells to extract liquid. (You should have 5 cups; if you have less add water to equal 5 cups.) Discard solids.
  • To make the soup, return the broth to the pot. Add the sesame oil, pineapple and fish sauce and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Add the scallions, lime juice, sugar, and 1 pound of the reserved shrimp. (Save the rest for another use.) Heat until the shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the cilantro and serve.
