Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 10-12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
• 3-4 kaffir lime leaves, torn
• 3-4 Thai bird’s eye chillies, smashed (adjust to your spice level)
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and bird’s eye chillies. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to release the flavours.
2. Add the shrimp and mushrooms to the broth and cook until the shrimp are pink and tender (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice, adjusting the seasoning to taste (more fish sauce for saltiness, more lime juice for tang).
4. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
