Method

  1. Simmer shrimp shells in 6 cups water with lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves for 20 minutes.
  2. Strain the broth, return to the pot, and bring back to a simmer with the smashed chiles.
  3. Add the mushrooms and shrimp and cook 3 minutes until the shrimp are just pink and curled.
  4. Off heat, season with fish sauce and lime juice, then garnish with cilantro and chile oil.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
