Ingredients List
Important Notes
✨ The core aromatic elements of Thai cuisine typically include fish sauce, lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal; mastering these ingredients allows you to quickly create authentic Thai flavors.
💡 If you do not intend to drink the broth, you can make the seasoning slightly stronger so the shrimp can absorb the savory flavors more easily; if you plan to consume the broth, use lighter seasoning.
⚠️ If you prefer not to use beer, you can substitute with water and add fish sauce and coconut milk after cooking to create a Southeast Asian coconut milk-style shrimp.
