Shrimp only need a couple of minutes, so they go in at the very end — simmered too long, they turn tough and rubbery.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- fresh cilantro and sliced chili for garnish
Method
- 1
Melt coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion 4-5 minutes until softened.
- 2
Add ginger, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3
Pour in broth and coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- 4
Add shrimp and fish sauce, simmering just 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink — added any earlier, they'd overcook and turn tough by the time the soup is ready.
- 5
Stir in lime juice and garnish with cilantro and chili before serving.
