Time 1h35m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 small sweet potatoes (about 3 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch-thick pieces
2 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
4 large bananas, peeled and cut across into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, lightly toasted
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • To make the soup, combine the sweet potatoes, 1 cup of coconut milk and the chicken broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Place in a food processor and puree until smooth. Mix in the remaining coconut milk and the salt. Reheat before serving, and stir in the lime juice and additional salt, if needed.
  • To make the condiments, combine the ginger, lemon juice, oil and salt in a shallow dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the broiler. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place the bananas on a greased baking sheet and broil until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Place the shrimp, bananas, coconut, almonds and cilantro in separate bowls.
  • Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Serve, passing the condiments, including Tabasco, separately.
