This soup is a winner! The flavors are incredible and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. I love the addition of lemongrass and galangal, which give it a unique and authentic Thai flavor. I'll definitely be making this again soon.

Not a fan. The soup was too sour and the shrimp were overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual tom yum goong recipe.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor. The shrimp were also a bit overcooked.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The shrimp were cooked well and the broth was flavorful. I might try making it again with less chili peppers next time.

Easy to make and packed with flavor! I love the combination of sweet, sour, and spicy in this soup. The shrimp were succulent and cooked through perfectly. I served it with some jasmine rice and it was a hit with my family.
