How to Make It
-
Make the shrimp stock by sauteing shrimp shells and/or heads until the bottom of the pot starts collecting browned bits.
-
Deglaze with water and scrape all the stuck bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
If using shrimp heads, use tongs to squeeze out the tasty tomalley inside.
-
Simmer for about 30 minutes. You can add some chopped onions to the simmering stock right now if you want some added flavor.
-
Strain the stock and add the lemongrass, galangal, tomatoes, makrut lime leaves and Thai chilies.
-
Simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes.
-
Add the shrimp, bring the stock back to a simmer and then turn off the heat.
-
Allow the residual heat of the soup to fully cook the shrimp for the next 2 minutes.
-
Add the Thai chili paste and fish sauce and stir to dissolve the chili paste.
-
Add lime juice and then taste and adjust, adding the sugar only if needed.
-
It's ready to serve! Note: the herbs are for infusion purposes only and are not meant to be eaten; however, they're traditionally left in the soup for garnish.
FUN FACT
Denmark is the cleanest country in the world.
Full of charm, culture, and coffee, Denmark has a lot going for it. Now it’s become one of the world’s environmental pioneers, ranked as the cleanest country in the world by the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) for 2021. Denmark's forward-thinking environmental attitude is part of everyday life for locals – just look at the city’s state-of-the-art CopenHill building. It’s a waste energy plant that turns the city’s garbage into heat and power, and also has a dry ski slope perched on its roof. Throughout the year, you’ll find both families and professionals enjoying the adrenaline rush down to the bottom.
