Healthy Thai Shrimp Soup

Let's make something lovely.

1. 01

   Prepare the Shrimp:

2. 02

   Peel and devein the shrimp, then set them aside for later use. If you want extra flavor, you can leave the shrimp shells or heads on during cooking.

3. 03

   Simmer the Aromatics:

4. 04

   In a wok or pot, bring 350 ml of water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add the shallots, ginger, and lime zest to the pot.

5. 05

   Let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the water.

6. 06

   Add Seasonings:

7. 07

   Stir in honey (or coconut sugar), low-sodium soy sauce, salt, and lime juice. Add the mushrooms and bring the soup back to a gentle boil.

8. 08

   Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed.

9. 09

   Add Coconut Milk:

10. 10

    Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and allow the soup to simmer for a few minutes, making it creamy and flavorful.

11. 11

    Cook the Shrimp:

12. 12

    Add the shrimp to the simmering soup and cook them for 2-3 minutes, just until they are almost done. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook in the hot soup.

13. 13

    Garnish and Serve:

    Once the shrimp are cooked, stir in the green onions, cilantro, and parsley.

15. 15

    Serve the soup immediately, garnishing each bowl with additional green onions, cilantro, and parsley if desired.
