How to Make Shrimp in Spicy Broth

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
• Adjust the level of jalapeño to fit your heat preference—remove seeds for less spice.
• Don’t overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and become tough if overdone.
• For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of fish sauce or a teaspoon of curry powder.

Easy Variations

• Swap out shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
• Replace coconut milk with almond milk for a lighter broth.
• Include a handful of rice noodles for a heartier meal.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the broth.
• A side of crusty bread for dipping.
• A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Sliced avocado to add creaminess.
