Ingredients
2 cups (400ml) coconut milk
6 oz (170g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 zucchini, chopped
5 lime leaves or stalks of lemongrass
1½ tsp red curry paste
Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Make the Broth:
In a small pot, add coconut milk and red curry paste. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring or whisking for 3–4 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Add Shrimp & Aromatics:
Add shrimp and lime leaves or lemongrass to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until shrimp turns pink and opaque.
Add Zucchini & Finish:
Stir in chopped zucchini. Turn off the heat immediately to retain a slight crunch.
Serve:
Remove lime leaves (if using). Ladle soup into bowls and top with fresh chopped cilantro.
Notes
Lime Leaves vs Lemongrass: Both work well to add citrusy flavor; remove before serving.
Protein Swap: You can substitute shrimp with tofu or chicken if preferred.
Spice Level: Adjust the curry paste to taste—use less for mild, more for spicy.
Make it a Meal: Serve with a side of cauliflower rice or a cucumber salad.
