With an appliance

• Microwave 30 min

  Replace step 1: loosely cover the bowl of broth with lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves and microwave at 800W for 6 minutes, then let it simmer for 3 minutes; the cooking time is almost the same as on a conventional microwave but without the need to watch for overflowing. The shrimp in step 3 only need to be microwaved for an additional 90 seconds to retain their juiciness.
