Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp tamarind pulp (optional)
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
1 tbsp salad oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp asian chili paste
5 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
1 lb (30 to 35 per lb.) shrimp, peeled, deveined, and rinsed
1 cup pineapple chunks (3/4 in .)
2 tbsp asian fish sauce ( nuoc mam or nam pla)
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup lime juice (6 tbsp if you don'tsp use tamarind pulp)
2 roma tomatoes (6 oz. total), rinsed, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 cups (6 oz.) bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp chopped fresh thai or anise basil (rau hung que) or regular basil leaves
2 tbsp chopped rice-paddy herb (ngo om) or fresh cilantro
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thai (hang prik) or serrano chilies

Directions:

In a bowl, combine tamarind pulp and 1/3 cup hot water. Let cool, rub pulp off seeds, and press mixture through a fine strainer into another small bowl; discard seeds.
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, stir shallots with oil until golden and crisp, 3 to 6 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on towels.
Add garlic and chili paste to pan and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add broth, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Add shrimp, pineapple, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, and reserved tamarind pulp. Cook, uncovered, just until shrimp turns pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp and pineapple to wide soup bowls. Stir tomatoes, bean sprouts, basil, and rice-paddy herb into hot broth.
Ladle soup mixture into bowls and sprinkle with fried shallots. Add chopped chilies to taste.
