This soup is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few shrimp left over after making a seafood boil, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this soup is the exception. The flavors are so well-balanced that the spiciness is actually enjoyable.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
