How to Make Authentic Thai Coconut Soup Recipe :

1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the shrimp until they are just done, approximately 1 minute. Drain the shrimp and set them aside.

2

In a large saucepan, combine coconut milk and 2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer. Add galangal, lemongrass, and lime leaves. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

3

To serve, reheat the shrimp in the soup and ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes as desired.

4

Press one pastry into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Roll out the remaining pastry so that it overhangs the pie by about 1/2 inch. Cut the pastry into eight 1-inch strips.
