Oh, this recipe will show you just how easy it is to make shrimp soup! This spicy coconut shrimp soup is perfect for a weeknight because it comes together quickly!
Inspiration for new recipes, where does it come from? For me, it's various venues. But, first and foremost, I'm thinking healthy. Putting 'junk'~things like empty calories, highly processed ingredients into my body or that of anyone who pulls up a seat in my kitchen or at my table, isn't my idea of love. And, for me, that's what food is, an expression of the love I'm sharing with others.
While there's the 'farm to table' push, my idea of good eats is what I call 'close to the earth' eating. There are lots of websites, like Ally's Kitchen, that help promote healthy eating or recipes and lifestyles, and one that I find cool is heck 'em out! You'll find useful ideas that can spark a 'closes to the earth' trend for you!
Coconut Milk Shrimp Soup
The coconut shrimp soup has a richness from the coconut milk, Make sure you use the unsweetened coconut milk! All you want is the healthiness of this milk.
Of course another thing that sparks inspiration for me with cooking is just being at the market and strolling along the aisles. Quite often, it's when I'm in the grocery store shopping and see specials, mark downs, or good buys on things that I'd always love to have, but refrain from until just the right timing. That's the case with this soup, of course, I love shrimp, but it's kinda pricey, so when I saw some big beautiful tail-on fresh shrimp on sale, I whisked them into my cart!

Coconut Shrimp Soup
Coconut shrimp soup can be spicy or mild depending upon your palate. If you want to reduce the amount of red curry paste to a teaspoon or two, do so. And, if you find you want more kick, just add more of the red paste or red chili flakes.
