Chef's Notes
Treat the prawn heads with absolute reverence, as they are liquid gold and the true backbone of an authentic Tom Yum broth.
Pro Tip
Crushing your lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves is not optional; releasing those essential oils is what separates a mediocre soup from an absolute masterpiece.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Boiling your prawns on high heat for too long until they curl into tight, rubbery question marks that bounce off your spoon in defeat.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef for the secret ingredient, and he told me it was 'the tears of a disappointed jester.' Tastes surprisingly like fish sauce!

Simmering prawn shells extracts astaxanthin and umami-rich amino acids, creating a complex flavor profile that water alone could never achieve.
