Analyzing cooking steps...
The key to a rich flavor is making the broth from scratch using the shrimp shells and heads. Don't skip this step!
Bruising the aromatics helps release their essential oils and fragrance into the soup.
The shrimp cook very quickly. Be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough.
For the creamy version, you can choose between evaporated milk for a classic Thai restaurant style, or coconut milk for a richer taste.
