How to Make Thai Shrimp Chili Soup

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1-2 tablespoons red chili paste (adjust to your spice preference). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 3 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  3. Remove shrimp from the saucepan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons soy sauce until smooth. Gradually whisk this mixture into the coconut milk in the saucepan.
  5. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 2 green onions (thinly sliced), 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, or until tender.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro (optional).
