Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, lemongrass, and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the curry paste and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in about 1/2 cup chicken broth and stir until the curry paste dissolves, then add the soy sauce, sugar, and remaining chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover partially and simmer for 20 minutes.

Stir in the coconut milk, spinach, shrimp, mushrooms, cilantro, and lime juice. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
