Ingredients

Steps

  1. Simmer the stock with the shrimp shells for 10 minutes, then strain them out.

  2. Add the lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves and simmer 5 minutes.

  3. Add the mushrooms and chili paste and cook 3 minutes, then the shrimp for 2 minutes.

  4. Off the heat, season with fish sauce, lime juice, and chiles, and finish with cilantro.

Lime juice goes in off the heat or it turns bitter.

Food safety Cook shrimp until opaque, 63°C / 145°F.
