Hey everyone, it’s me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe site. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a special dish, thai style prawn broth. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

Place a strainer over a bowl and pour the contents of the pot right into the strainer. The shrimp / prawn heads and shells will be soft after half an hour of simmering. Use a fork to mash the heads and shells to press all the flavors out of them and into the broth in the bowl. An alternative to Tom Yum Paste is our Tom Yum Cubes which you can use to make the above soup.

Thai style Prawn Broth is one of the most well liked of recent trending foods in the world. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Thai style Prawn Broth is something that I’ve loved my whole life.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have thai style prawn broth using 18 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Thai style Prawn Broth:
  1. Take For the stock
  2. Make ready Heads and shells from a 500g pack of raw tiger prawns
  3. Get 1 tbsp tomato paste
  4. Take 1 x red onion

  11. Get water to top up the pot
  12. Make ready The garnish
  13. Get 4 x spring onions

  15. Get 1 x sliced red chilli
  16. Get The raw tiger prawns (I split mine but whole is fine)
  17. Get to taste Sweet chilli sauce
  18. Get to taste Soy sauce

Prawns (or Shrimp) pan-fried to crispy perfection in a Thai flavoured Coconut broth with a hint of Lemongrass, Coriander and Kaffir leaves, all sitting on a bed of noodles had me at Thai. But then, adding chopped Avocado on top? Strain the broth, discard the prawn shells etc, then return broth into same pot over low heat. Stir in rice, shrimp, lime juice and cilantro.

Steps to make Thai style Prawn Broth:
  1. Heat a large sauce pan or soup pot, add a splash of oil and the prawn trimmings. They will quickly turn pink, add the vegetables and herbs
  2. Stir in the tomato paste then add white wine and top up with water (about 1 Litre)
  3. Add the Thai paste, now split the lemon grass in half lengthways, if the very centre of lemon grass is soft then you can separate this to add to the finished soup, or you can just chop it all up for the stock
  4. So the lemon grass outer layers are in the stock and I finely chopped the soft centre to go in the finished broth. Next I peeled the outer skin off the ginger and this went into the stock, I finely sliced the ginger centre into little match sticks to go into the finished broth.
  5. Finely slice the spring onions, the sugar snaps and combine with the ginger ready for the finished broth.
  6. Now prepare the prawns, I like to butterfly mine but cut all the way through, I like the way they curl up when poached later. This also makes removing the tract (the gross stuff) easier.
  7. When the stock has had around 1 hour simmering its time to stain it through the finest sieve that you have. I do mine once through a chinois then through a fine mess sieve, you can use muslin or cheese cloth for the best results. Now add the vegetables to the broth.
  8. Add prawns and gently simmer until they turn pink 1 to 2 minutes should be long enough, season soup with salt pepper, sweet chilli and soy
  9. Add sliced chilli and some chopped coriander or parsley, time to serve. I chose the wrong bowl as it made it difficult to eat from but select a bowl you like spoon in the prawns and veg then pour over the amazingly flavoursome broth.
  10. Tuck in now, feel free to add fish sauce more chilli or whatever you fancy, the last image here shows how the prawns curl up, I like the way the look and its easier to east half a prawn and keep your dignity LOL. Link to video if you like? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoHYWejWiVA&t=363s

Strain the broth, discard the prawn shells etc, then return broth into same pot over low heat. Stir in rice, shrimp, lime juice and cilantro. The resulting broth that I made was really bitter. Flavor of the broth took on the bitter lemon rind flavour. I will try again without the lemon, add juice to taste.
