Shrimp Coconut Lime Soup
Ginger and mushrooms flavor a coconut broth with shrimp and a lime finish. It is a light dinner where a gentle simmer matters more than a long cooking time. Let the mushrooms soften before the shrimp enters. Add the lime at the end and serve the hot broth promptly, rather than continuing to boil the cooked shrimp while the bowls wait.
