Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Combine curry paste, coconut milk, stock, lemongrass, fish sauce, and Stevia. Cover, and bring to a boil.
  2. While soup is cooking, heat a wok or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then zucchini noodles to the heated oil. Saute for 4 to 6 minutes, tossing frequently, until zucchini is tender but still crunchy.
  3. Return back to soup. Add in mushrooms and shrimp. Cook until shrimp are cooked through, pink on the outside and no longer translucent, ~4 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and fold in spinach leaves. Finish with lime juice. Season soup to taste with more fish sauce, sweetener, or lime juice.
  5. Divide zucchini noodles and soup into bowls. Enjoy piping hot - and don’t eat the lemongrass!
  6. If you’re making tomorrow’s chicken, you can get a head start on the marination for more flavor.
