Texas Caviar
Coconut Shrimp Soup (Tom Kha)
| By : |
This Thai-style soup is brothy, fragrant, and delicately flavored. While tom kha is typically made with chicken (in which case it’s known as tom kha gai), I like making it with shrimp as a change of pace. This soup reheats very well, and I find the flavors deepen over time. If you plan to serve it a day later, don’t add the shrimp until you’re just about ready to serve the soup. Instead, reheat the soup and add them for the last few minutes of cooking.

My first Instant Pot dish and it came out great! The shrimp was tender and didn’t lose flavor or change the taste of the soup.
Next time I am going to use Galanga Root instead of ginger. And maybe chicken instead of shrimp.
Overall…everyone loved it! So that’s a winner to me.
Very tasty
