Instructions: Tom Yum Koong Suki (Tom Yum Shrimp Soup cooked in a suki pot)

Place about a liter (or a quart) of fish stock in the hot pot (if you havent got one, you could use a small "deep fryer" or a fondue pot as a replacement).

Bring it to a boil and add all ingredients except shrimp. Raw shrimp

(about 15 to the pound in size) are placed on the table (in Thailand we dont bother cleaning them - you might want to remove the heads, legs and shells, and devein them), together with fresh mushrooms. The guests then cook these by placing them in small bronze-wire baskets and dipping them in the suki pot. If you are using fondue forks, you might want to add the mushrooms to the soup liquor just before everyone starts to dine.
