Step 2: Marinate the ingredients

Put the shrimp in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, half a tablespoon of seasoning powder, a little pepper and the onion top, mix well and leave for about 15 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the soup

First, sauté the shallots and then add the marinated shrimp and stir-fry over high heat. Note that during the stir-frying process, you must stir quickly so that the shrimp is cooked evenly and does not burn. When the shrimp is just cooked, remove from the stove.

Next, boil about 1 liter of water and add the stir-fried shrimp and meat. Note that you should adjust the heat to medium, skim off the foam, add salt and seasoning powder to taste. Next, add the star jasmine flowers, adjust the heat to high so that the soup boils quickly and then turn off the stove immediately. If cooked for too long, the star jasmine flowers will become soft and lose their crispness and sweetness.

Step 4: Finish

Ladle the star jasmine flower soup with shrimp into a bowl, sprinkle with green onions and ground pepper on top and enjoy.
