Yield Makes 4 (first-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped (about 3 1/4 cup), plus 1/4 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into small dice for garnish (about 1/4 cup)
2 scallions (white and green parts), coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (loosely packed) assorted fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, and mint, coarsely chopped, plus ¼ cup finely chopped (for garnish)
1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
1 small clove garlic, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 pound large shrimp (31 to 40 count per pound) peeled, cooked, and cut into medium dice (about 8 shrimp)
1/2 cup seedless watermelon or cantaloupe, cut into small dice

Steps:

  • In blender or food processor, combine coarsely chopped cucumber, scallions, coarsely chopped herbs, ginger, garlic, olive oil, and yogurt and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and hot sauce, then transfer to large airtight container and refrigerate 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  • In small bowl, stir together shrimp and remaining cucumbers, herbs, and salt.
  • Fold watermelon or cantaloupe into soup. Divide soup evenly among 4 chilled bowls and top each with dollop of shrimp mixture. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of shrimp. Large shrimp, such as jumbo or extra-large, are best for this recipe. They will hold their shape well when cooked and will be easier to peel and devein.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality gazpacho. A good gazpacho will have a rich, flavorful broth and plenty of fresh vegetables. You can use a store-bought gazpacho or make your own.
  • Make the basil croutons ahead of time. The croutons can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Serve the shrimp gazpacho chilled. Gazpacho is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Shrimp gazpacho with basil croutons is a delicious and refreshing summer soup. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The shrimp add a protein boost and the basil croutons add a crunchy texture. This soup is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
