Shrimp Soup Recipes Biography

We’ve made this soup numerous times over the years since our trip and I am thrilled that it’s also paleo! There are a few ingredients (like galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and lemon grass) that I have to buy from an Asian specialty market. They usually sell them in quantities greater than what I need, but I just freeze the rest (all of those special ingredients freeze really well) for the next time I make soup or a curry. If you can’t find galangal at a store near you, you could substitute ginger. I’m afraid there just is no substitute for the kaffir lime leaves—they give this soup a real authentic Thai flavor that I don’t think you can get from anything else. If you are allergic to shellfish or don’t like shrimp, you could easily use chicken in this soup instead.

Flavorful ingredients

Ingredients

2 cups full fat coconut milk

2 cups bone broth, water or chicken stock (I used bone broth)

thumb size piece of galangal, peeled and cut into coin sized pieces

6 kaffir lime leaves

2 stalks lemon grass

150 grams (about 12 medium size) mushrooms, sliced

2 shallots, chopped

2 red Thai chilis, finely diced

400 grams (14 ounces) shrimp, cleaned with tails removed

2 Tablespoons fish sauce

juice of half a lime

1/2 Tablespoon raw cane sugar (I left this out)

fresh cilantro to garnish

What to do

Prepare your galangal by peeling it and slicing it into coin shaped pieces.

Cut the woody end off of your lemon grass and discard. Now smash the the remaining stalk to release the aroma and juice and cut it into pieces.

Smashed lemon grass stalks

Pour your coconut milk and broth into a soup pot along with your lemon grass and galangal.

Tear up your kaffir lime leaves and throw them into the pot as well.

Bring to a boil and then simmer

Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While that is simmering, chop your mushrooms and shallots.

Cook the mushrooms and shallots in a frying pan with some coconut oil until the shallots start to caramelize and then set aside.

Mushrooms and shallots

Once your soup has simmered for 20 minutes, pour it through a colander and discard the lemon grass stalks, galangal and lime leaves. Return the liquid to your soup pot.

Now add in the cooked mushrooms and shallots and the rest of your ingredients.

The shrimp

Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until your shrimp has cooked (turned pink).

Garnish with fresh cilantro and pretend you are in Thailand!

Just like in Thailand

This really is my all time favorite soup and it deserves the nick name “magical”. Don’t let the instructions intimidate you. It really is very easy and quick to throw together.
