THAI SHRIMP AND COCONUT SOUP WITH LEMONGRASS
Steps:
- 1. In a blender, combine the chiles, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, shallot, and 1/4 cup of water and puree until smooth. 2. In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil. Add the lemongrass puree and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the coconut milk, borwn sugar, fish sauce, tamarind, lime leaves, and 1 1/2 cups of water and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup is flavorful and slightly reduced, about 15 mins. 3. Stir the lime juice into the soup and season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and simmer until slightly curled and just cooked through, about 1 minute. Ladle the soup into bowls, add the rice noodles and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Use a good quality coconut milk. The thicker the coconut milk, the richer the soup will be.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness of the soup to your liking. Add more or less chili paste or red curry paste, depending on your preference.
- Serve the soup with jasmine rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy touch.

Thai shrimp coconut soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The combination of shrimp, coconut milk, and spices creates a flavorful and aromatic soup that is sure to please everyone at the table.
