Shrimp Tom Yum in Coconut Water

This delicious soup uses coconut water (readily available in most stores) as a base rather than plain water or prepared stock.

Fresh young Thai coconuts are becoming widely available, along with packaged pure coconut water, both of which can be used to make this wonderful soup.
