Fresh herbs, aromatics and vegetables make this flavorful Thai Curry Soup a year-round favorite! Dairy-Free, Whole30, and Paleo.

Introducing to you, the VERY first seafood recipe on Wholesomelicious!! Whoop Whoop!! As you may already know, me and my family do not eat seafood, but I’ve been wanting some delicious and healthy seafood recipes on my blog. I am thrilled to introduce you to my guest blogger today: Chef Shelley at Chef in the Burbs. Shelley is a personal chef, and busy wife and mom who specializes in Weekend Fancy and Weeknight Fast recipes! Check out her blog for more deliciousness. Take it from here Shelley!

I love fresh Thai curry paste with all of the fragrant ginger, lemongrass and garlic. This soup is a client favorite because it’s light enough to have in summer, hearty enough to have in winter and delicious enough to enjoy year round.

Shrimp’s delicate flavor is perfect in this soup. Save yourself the time and buy shrimp that’s already peeled and deveined. Also, a tiny percentage of shrimp is actually fresh and never frozen. What you see in the seafood case is actually previously frozen. You don’t know how long it’s been out, so buy frozen to actually get the freshest shrimp. Check the ingredient list to make sure there aren’t any chemicals added.
Shrimp are sold by size. The size is how many are in a pound, so you’ll see things like “jumbo 16/20” which means 16-20 shrimp in a pound all the way down to “extra small 61/70” which are the teeny-tiny salad shrimp. For this soup I like 36/50 shrimp which are a medium bite-size. Feel free to use whatever size you want to eat!

As for Thai curry paste, the good news is if you don’t want to make your own there are a lot of different brands you can buy that don’t have any artificial anything. No chemicals, no preservatives, no sugar; nothing! Thai Kitchen makes a red and green Thai curry paste and is available in most grocery stores. Why should you make your own if there’s a healthy option out there? Not only will it taste fresher and be more complex, but you can control the flavors. If you don’t like garlic; leave it out. Do you love fresh ginger? Double it up!

Either way you go, this soup is fresh and delicious. If you do use store bought curry paste, I recommend you add some fresh garlic and ginger to give it a little boost.

I like 36/50 count shrimp because they are a good one-bite size. You can use smaller or larger shrimp, just be aware that smaller will cook faster and larger will take longer to cook. Fresh lemongrass can be hard to find, but if you have it, add a tablespoon minced; it’s a delicious addition!
