Categories     Soup/Stew     Shellfish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 scallions finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 habanero chili, seeded and finely chopped or to your taste
2 cups chopped tomatoes,
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 green plantains, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
3 cups of water
1 pound of large shrimp, shell on
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 cans (14 oz) of coconut milk or more if necessary
Fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the refrito: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, warm the oil. When it is hot, add the onion, scallions and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and bell pepper, and then add the chili, tomatoes, carrots, plantain and ground cumin. Cook for about 8 minutes more or until the vegetables are soft. 2. Meanwhile, clean and de-vein the shrimp and place the shells in a small pot with the water. 3. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, about 15 minutes. Strain the liquid and discard the shells. 4. Add the shrimp liquid to the vegetables, stir well and cook for 12 minutes more. 5 Add the coconut milk and cook for about 10 minutes more. Add the shrimp and cook just until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and ladle the soup into bowls. Serve immediately.

This soup is amazing! I made it for my family last night and they loved it. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the coconut milk gives it a lovely creaminess. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but this soup was surprisingly delicious. The sweetness of the coconut milk balances out the spiciness of the peppers, and the shrimp and plantain add a nice savory flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
