This is the soup I make when I want takeout flavor without the takeout wait: a silky, orange-red coconut curry broth, plump shrimp that cook in three minutes, ribbons of red pepper, a handful of spinach wilted in at the end, and lime wedges squeezed over right before eating — exactly the bowl in the photo. It’s Thai-inspired (cousin to
