Shrimp Tom Yam Soup {Tom Yam Kung}

March 6, 2014 0 comments Article Lunch, Main Course, Recipes, Seafood, Soup, Travel

Looking back, it is surprising how many of the Thai dishes we made in the scorching heat of Chiang Mai are a much better fit for the snowy, cold winter in Colorado. Tom Yam soup is a staple in Thai cuisine. It is even easier to make than coconut curry and also extremely healthy. This is a shrimp Tom Yam, but you can easily make it with veggies or any other protein. This dish is spicy, but has a bright acidity from the lime and lemongrass.
