Directions
Step 1:
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat until moderately hot. Add the shallot, garlic, lemon grass, chile flakes, and chili paste, and brown slightly, about 30 seconds.
Step 2:
Working quickly and without burning the spices, add the galangal, lobster stock, chicken stock, coconut milk, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors can meld.
Step 3:
Adjust the seasoning with the fish sauce and sugar, then add the lobster meat. Bring to a simmer and let lobster heat through. Add the corn and mushrooms. As soon as it comes to a second boil, turn off the heat and add the tomatoes and lime juice.
Step 4:
Garnish with the lobster claws, cilantro, Thai basil leaves, and fried shallots. Serve immediately.
