Bring all ingredients except the shrimp and basil to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the garlic, lemongrass, and lime leaves. Serve the soup garnished with basil. I recommend Thai basil. It’s available at any Asian store. Chicken also works well instead of shrimp.
