Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add oil in a large stockpot and heat over medium-high. Add lemongrass and saute to release the lemon oil. Stir in the red curry paste and ginger and saute for about 1 minute.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and add the fish sauce.
  3. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add the coconut milk and stir until warm and well combined, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the seafood and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the shrimp is light pink in color.
  6. Remove the lemongrass stocks (optional)
  7. Serve with fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Use your choice of seafood medley; many pre-packaged mixes are suitable.
  • Lemongrass stalks can remain in the soup to deepen flavor but should be removed before eating due to their tough texture.
  • Adjust fish sauce and seasoning to preference for balanced flavor.
  • The recipe is adapted from Allrecipes and yields a fragrant, coconut-forward seafood soup.
