This is my go to prawn broth whenever I want something comforting yet impressive. It comes together in just an hour, making it perfect for busy weeknights, and the ingredients are affordable staples I usually have on hand. The coconut milk and lemongrass create this beautifully aromatic base that feels restaurant quality, but honestly it's so simple to pull together. Prawns are packed with protein and selenium, which is wonderful for your immune system, and the ginger adds natural anti inflammatory benefits. Every spoonful tastes like a warm hug, and your kitchen will smell absolutely divine while it simmers away.
