Ingredients
- 350g medium sized shrimp, shell-on, head-on if possible
- 4 cups water (or use 3 1/2 cups unsalted chicken stock if not using shell on shrimp)
- 2 stalks lemongrass, bottom half only (see note)
- 10 pc galangal, cut into thin rounds
- 6 kaffir lime leaves
- Thai chilies, to taste
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 3–4 cups oyster mushrooms, straw mushrooms, or another Asian mushroom
- ¼ cup Thai chili paste (nam prik pao)
- 3 Tbsp fish sauce
- ¼ cup lime juice
- A big handful of chopped sawtooth coriander (culantro) or cilantro
- Jasmine rice for serving
Method
- Rinse shrimp well, then peel and devein them (see video for a cool deveining trick!) and place all heads and shells into a stock pot. Put the pot over medium high heat and saute the shrimp shells until stuff that sticks to the pot starts to brown slightly. It should smell like shrimp on the grill!
- Add water, scrape off the browned bits that are stuck to the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Then, use a slotted skimmer to remove the shells, making sure to drain off as much of the liquid as you can.
