Now with this recipe my measurement's are not exact so you can add or withhold   to your choosing. You could use Chicken instead of shrimp. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1/2 Onion (about a cup and half chopped) 
1 Tbsp Lemon grass (chopped fine)
Fresh Cilantro about a half a bunch, 1/2- 3/4 cup chopped
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped) 
3-4 Cloves Garlic 3-4 minced (1.5-2 Tbsp) 
Ginger (grate or mince) (2 tsp- 1 Tbsp)
1-2 Green onions 
24 Shrimp  medium size shelled (count out how many shrimp you want per person)
1 Stalk Broccoli crowns or 1 1/2 cups frozen 
4 Shiitake mushrooms (or a different mushroom) 
2 cans coconut milk
1 can chicken broth 
3 -4 Tbsp Red curry paste 
Juice from 1 Lime 
1 Tbsp Fish Sauce (should be gluten free check ingredients before buying if your allergic)
2 Tbsp butter or 
olive oil or coconut oil (whatever you like to use) 
4 servings of Jasmine rice (you could use cauliflower rice as a substitute or a asian noodle) 

*You could use chicken instead of shrimp. I would cube up a couple chicken breast and cook the same way but just until done. 

Directions 

Chop your Onion, Lemon Grass, Cilantro, Basil, and Green onions and put them all int little bowls or separated out. Add your minced garlic and ginger to the lemongrass. 

Put your rice on so its cooked and ready. 

Lightly steam your broccoli crowns and set aside (small bite size pieces) 

Now if you can use a dutch oven or cast iron pot. 

Peel and, de-vaine shrimp (I have used frozen ones already peeled) pat dry. 
​Put 1-2 Tbsp of butter or oil in pan and cook shrimp 1-2 min each side. I seasoned shrimp with with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder on each side. You can use the season you like. Your cooking just couple min. Remove and set them aside. 

Chop your mushrooms in strips and add to the pan your cooked your shrimp in with the oil and spices left in it and cook your mushrooms for a few min and then remove and set aside. 

In the same pan cook your chopped onions until translucent (you may need to add more butter/oil). Then add the garlic, ginger and lemon grass for about a min. 
If your using the same pan for all of your soup then add the red curry paste and stir into onion mixture. If your making your soup in a different pot then pour the onion mixture and dripping not the pot and then add red curry paste. 

In a bowl put your coconut milk, chicken broth, and 1 Tbsp of fish sauce and stir. 

Pour Coconut milk mixture over your onion mixture in the pan. 
Bring to a slow boil and your basil add 1/3 of your chopped cilantro. 
Simmer for 15 min and stir ever few min. 
Add salt to taste, if you want you can add more red curry paste if you like it stronger.
Add the juice from half  lime and the juice from the other half if you want. 

After its simmered 15 min and the broth taste yummy then at the last minute add your broccoli crowns, mushrooms and shrimp. Give it a stir and let sit for 30 sec to a min. 
Dish into bowls and put about 1/4 cup rice right on top if you want rice.( I eat mine without for less carbs or you could use cauliflower rice) 
Sprinkle green onions and cilantro on top and serve. ENJOY! 

*you can use asian noodle I have done that and precooked the noodles and put them on the bottom of the bowl and poured the soup mixture of the the top.
