Ingredients
The High Five

- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 medium lime, halved
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Pantry and Kitchen Items
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- In a large pot, combine the coconut milk and stock, and whisk in the curry paste. Add the halved lime and salt, and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to keep the liquid boiling but not boiling over, and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and reduce the heat to gently simmer for about 4 minutes longer. As soon as the shrimp are pink, take off the heat and serve.
Serving Suggestion
Serve this easy Thai soup with steamed rice for a heartier meal. The soup base is flexible – add sliced steamed veggies or cooked chicken or tofu for variations on a theme! Garnish soup with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and scallions for a splash of color and a flavor boost.
