KILLER SHRIMP SOUP
There's an awesome little restaurant in Marina Del Rey, California called 'Killer Shrimp' that serves up one thing -- Shrimp soup. This is an easy to prepare spicy herb soup with lots of broth, flavor, and a little kick. It doesn't need any fancy presentation. Simply ladle it into big bowls and serve. Don't bother using spoons, just serve it with some crusty bread and use the bread to soak up the broth.

COPYCAT KILLER SHRIMP
This is a copycat recipe, after the Killer Shrimp restaurant in Southern California. This is the most authentic recipe I have found -with some minor adjustments, and is wonderfull. Be sure to serve with alot of crusty bread for dipping, the broth and bread is the best part of the meal to me. I usually do half and half clam broth and chicken broth, as a personal preference. We do peel and eat shrimp, but I have made with peeled shrimp as well. Posting here as I don't see another like it combined with safe keeping, can't lose this!

KILLER SHRIMP SOUP

Tips:
- Use fresh and large shrimp: It will make sure that the shrimp are plump, juicy, and have a sweet flavor.
- Marinate the shrimp before cooking: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to infuse them with flavor and make them more tender.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will make it difficult for the shrimp to cook evenly and may result in them steaming instead of sautéing.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid that you use will add flavor to the shrimp. Chicken broth, white wine, or even beer are all good choices.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini can be added to the skillet along with the shrimp for a more complete meal.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and juicy.
