Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup

1/2 lb Shrimp
1 tablespoon Oil
5 c Chicken stock
2 Lemongrass stalks, crushed
1/2 tablespoon Lime peel
1 Jalapeno pepper, diced
1/2 c Straw mushrooms
2 1/2 tablespoon Lime juice
1 tablespoon Fish sauce

GARNISH
2 Scallions, sliced
2 tablespoon Cilantro chopped
1 1/2 tablespoon Mint leaves, chopped
1 Jalapeno pepper, slivered

Shell the shrimp, rinse the shells and pat them dry. Cut the shrimp in half horizontally and rinse out the sand veins.

Place a large pot over high heat until hot. Add the oil, swirling to coat the surface. Add the shrimp shells; cook until they turn pink, about 30 seconds. Add the stock, lemon grass, lime peel, and chile.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the broth, discarding the seasonings.

Return the broth to the pot and heat to simmering. Add the shrimp and straw mushrooms and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and fish sauce. To serve, lade into individual soup bowls. Garnish with green onion, cilantro, mint leaves and chile.
