Asian inspired soup that is easy and delicious. It's a meal on it's own and perfect for chilly days. My husband, who doesn't like Chinese food, loves this spicy soup at the start of a dinner. Leftovers freeze well. Ingredients:
4 cups shrimp stock |
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest |
1 tablespoon grated lime zest |
1 (15 ounce) can whole straw mushrooms, drained |
1 pound frozen fully cooked salad shrimp, thawed |
3 tablespoons asian fish sauce (nuoc mam or nam pla) |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
3 green onions, chopped |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 red chile peppers, seeded and chopped |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine the shrimp stock, lemon zest and lime zest in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and shrimp and cook until shrimp have heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, green onion, cilantro and chile pepper. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Soup should be sour, salty, spicy and hot.
