I'm allergic to shrimp, so I'm not sure if I can make this soup.

I love the combination of flavors in this soup. The daikon is sweet and crunchy, the shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the broth is light and refreshing.

This soup is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish. The daikon and shrimp pair perfectly together, and the lemongrass and lime add a bright, citrusy flavor.
