Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
Tiger prawns: 500g, with shell
Chicken stock: 1L
Lemon grass: 3 stalks
Kaffir lime leaves: 10 fresh, torn in half

1. Shell and de-vein the prawns, reserving the shells. Rinse the shells and place them in a large pan with the chicken stock.

3. Sieve the stock and return to the pan. Discard the solids.
4. Return the stock to a simmer, and add the mushrooms and prawns and cook until the prawns are pink.
5. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, almost all the green onions, coriander, red chillies and remaining lime leaves.
