Thai coconut poached halibut and shrimp! Warning - your house will smell ridiculously AMAZING while this soup is cooking!!!! 🤤😛
Recipe:
1 Tbs coconut oil
2 cans of lite coconut milk
1 cup of Miso ginger broth from Trader Joe’s (vegetable broth is fine if you can’t find the miso broth)
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
1 Tbs minced garlic (seems like a lot, but it’s perfect)
1/2 diced sweet yellow onion
1 Tsp fresh grated lemongrass (optional, but it adds great flavor)
2 Tbs coconut sugar (brown sugar works too)
1 Tbs coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 Tsp fish sauce
1 Tsp Apple cider vinegar
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt
1 finely diced jalapeño (I left the seeds in because we like the heat, but it’s optional)
1 Tbs minced Thai basil (if you can’t find Thai basil, just leave it out)
2 Halibut filets - Or any flaky white fish like cod or Chilean sea bass would work great too!
1/2 pound of Shrimp - shelled and de veined. (I use the frozen Argentinian shrimp from Trader Joe’s...it’s amazing!!!)
2 cups of fresh spinach
Directions:
Heat coconut oil in a stock pot
Add onion, ginger and garlic and cook stirring frequently for about 2 mins.
Add lemongrass, coconut milk, broth and jalapeño and bring to a simmer for another 2 mins.
Stir in sugar, coconut aminos, vinegar, fish sauce, lime zest and basil. Simmer for another couple of minutes.
Add salt to taste
Add fish and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add shrimp and lime juice. Cook until the shrimp are done. About another 3-5 minutes. The shrimp should be pink and slightly curled and the fish should be opaque and should be easy to flake apart with a fork.
Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach. Put the lid on until the spinach is wilted.
Serve as is, or over rice!
