Shrimp Soup

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup instant brown rice
  • Pinch or two of red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups of water*
  • 1 can creamed coconut milk
  • 2 bouillon cubes vegetable (or 4 if using small cubes)*
  • 8 oz tomato paste*
  • 2 lbs. baby cocktail shrimp
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice real lemon juice or juice your own

Method
 

  1. In a large soup pan put the olive oil, onion, pepper, garlic and sauté. Cook until the veggies are soft. Add all other ingredients except shrimp and let simmer adjusting seasoning to taste. Add in shrimp and cook until done about 3-5 minutes. Do not overcook or shrimp will get rubbery.
  2. *Instead of water you can replace with vegetable stock (I added water then didn’t like taste so added bouillon)
  3. *if you like chunks of tomato add 15 oz. crushed tomatoes instead of paste (I have a non-tomato chuck eater)
