Paleo Thai Shrimp Soup
This soup is a delicious combination of slightly spicy and salty with plenty of red curry, coconut, lemongrass, and lime flavor. Something about the combination of all of those flavors is just insane. This is definitely a soup I crave all the time. It’s fresh, yet comforting and satisfying.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Remove shrimp from refrigerator and pat dry. Set aside.
- Cook rice according to package directions. For paleo and Whole30, sauté cauliflower in a little butter or ghee until soft, but not soggy. I like to start the soup while the rice is cooking.
- In a large pot, melt the butter or ghee over medium heat.
- Add onion, garlic, lemongrass, bell pepper, and green onion. Cook for 8 minutes or until the vegetables are soft, but not browned. Stir occasionally.
- Add ginger and curry paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add coconut milk, chicken stock, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally, scraping the bottom and sides. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add shrimp and simmer for 5 minutes or until shrimp are opaque and pink.
- Turn off the heat and add the lime juice and cilantro (leave a bit of cilantro for garnish).
- Taste and add some salt, if desired.
- Serve over rice and garnish with the extra cilantro, green onions, and the lime zest.
