I love seafood [Big Grin]


Ingredients

20 prawns (shrimp), medium size
4-5 cups chicken broth/soup stock
2 stalks fresh lemongrass, lightly pounded, cut into 1 inch long segments
4 table spoons fish sauce
1/3 cup sliced fresh galangal
1/2 cup straw mushroom, halved or whole
6-8 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
4 tablespoons lime juice
6 crushed fresh Thai chile peppers (or more to suit your taste)
2 tablespoons "prik pao" roasted chile in oil
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method

Wash the prawns and shell them without removing the tails. Bring chicken broth to a boil. Add lemongrass, galangal and lime leaves. Bring back to a boil then add mushrooms, fish sauce, prik pao and lime juice. Add prawns and fresh chile peppers. As soon as prawns turn pink (cooked through) serve garnished with cilantro.

i cooked this before - some thai chic's recipe - this is street food, i will follow this recipe but i will also do it my way too. you know i have so much confidence cooking now - i just feel like i could accomplish whatever i want. What i will do today is cook this for a few bowls of soup and so i will use 1/2 kg of shrimp and maybe 1/2 kg of mixed seafood. i know the recipe does not call for mixed seafood but maybe just maybe i might do it my way. You like get busy up in here - this is my summer time - i could do whatever i want - i could cook and eat and drink whatever i want - wake up and sleep whenever i want. And if i want some mixed seafood up in this recipe then i'll do it [Big Grin]


I am definitely in chill-mode! Beautiful day [Smile]

[Smile] Be happy i'm not making dessert [Big Grin]

and no dinners??? that's a little too harsh if you ask me. Eat baked vegetables the ones with 0 calories or something [Razz]


*contemplating on whether to cook this recipe with 1/2 kg shrimp & 1/2 kg mixed seafood or 1 kg shrimp* choices - choices [Big Grin]

I love Thai food - you see what i'll do with the rest is pack them serving wise in plastic bags and so when there is a craving for some tom yum then i'll just take one out, heat it and waaa laaaa [Smile] tom yum

I try to eat only fruits and some salads as a dinner. And also duna fish is my favorite diet food [Smile]
But 1/2 kg shrimp means 450 calories [Frown]

Anyway, it looks very delicious [Wink]

450 calories for 1/2kg of shrimp?! that's nothing - thai food is generally very healthy, no oil, no butter, no fat, no nada here [Big Grin]

but fruits and salads for dinner sound good too [Razz]

what kind of fruits you guys have up there in season in Turkey. I know Jordan has many Turkish products, effes beer [Big Grin] (nasty), turkish labneh (delcious), MY products, turkish cola, turkish nuts, turkish sausages and pasterma , oh and turkish 100% apple and orange juice (yummy and very good prices) - Yes I Support Turkish Products [Big Grin]

anywayz i have to go get a few ingredients before i get busy here - ciao

Okay, i am about to get busy ladies and gentleman and insha allah i will cook an authentic thai dish, one that tastes the same as it does in thailand. I just came back from the seafood market and i purchased lovely shrimp(prawns). I also have some mussels which i will add. I will simply take my time, i love going real slow with things that i love and this is one of them. I am very passionate about cooking Thai food. I bought me some more kool-aid [Big Grin] - i am going to take my time. At the end of it all a great dish will materialize tonight. [Smile]

Heyyy… sabah al khair, beautiful [Smile] yes I eat them, sometimes I cry eating them [Big Grin] but I eat them. What I usually do is I deseed the regular (bigger) chillis because my wife likes it spicy but not insanely spicy like I do, I however cook the small thai chillis whole (w/seeds). This way suits both of us because when I serve for myself I include the small thai chillis, actually I sometimes also add additional ones to the dish(s).

I go out of my way to procure authentic thai chillis (very hot). Love spicy food.


P.S I had some for breakfast today, what i did was poach eggs in a separate pot and then i added the poached eggs to the Tom Yum Goong. Delcious, i could have added cooked white rice to the soup but it is very rich and hearty as is. [Smile]
