How to Make Authentic Thai Coconut Soup Recipe :
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.
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.
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.
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.
