Steps

1 hour

1

Prepare all the ingredients. Devein the shrimp and trim the antennae.
2

Simmer the aromatics (galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves) in water for about 30 minutes to infuse the broth.
3

Remove the aromatics, then add onion, tomato, mushrooms, and all the seasonings. Use 6 1/3 cups water (about 1500 ml). I used half a packet of the hot and sour soup paste—adjust the amount for your preferred spice level, but be mindful of the saltiness. Add a few drops of fish sauce, taste, and add more if needed.
4

Once the flavor is right, add the cabbage and all the seafood. When the clams start to open, pour in the coconut milk. Turn off the heat, add lemon juice, and finish with cilantro or Thai basil.
