Preparation

Heat milk at medium heat to just before boiling point. Remove from heat and stir in coconut. Let sit 45 minutes.

Strain, squeezing coconut to get all liquid. Set “coconut milk” aside. Bring broth to a boil. Stir in chili paste. Add frozen vegetables and cook until barely tender. Add “coconut milk” and shrimp. Gently reheat.

Spoon soup into bowls. Add lime juice, sprinkle with green onion, basil and serve.
