Description
A delicious and hearty seafood soup made with shrimp, jalapeños, and a flavorful broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large shallot (finely chopped)
- 5 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
- 1 Tablespoon gluten free flour
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups seafood stock (I like Imagine brand)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 jalapeños (divided, 1 jalapeño sliced from the ribs/seeds, 1 sliced into rings)
- 3 small bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 3/4 lb jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 limes (1 cut in half, 1 cut into wedges)
- For serving: cooked white rice, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
- Add shallots and garlic then turn heat down a touch and sauté until light brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Make sure butter is just barely sizzling as to not brown the garlic.
- Sprinkle in flour then stir to combine and sauté while stirring for 1 more minute.
- Add tomato sauce then stir to combine, ensuring there are no lumps in the flour/butter mixture.
- Add seafood stock, chicken stock, the jalapeño that’s been sliced from the ribs and seeds, bay leaves, and spices.
- Turn heat up to bring soup to a simmer then turn back down to medium, place a lid partially on top and gently simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove bay leaves and jalapeños then add lime juice to taste, and salt if needed, usually about 1/3 of a fresh lime.
- Turn heat back up to high to bring the soup to a simmer then add shrimp and simmer until cooked through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Scoop soup into bowls then top with cooked rice. Add sliced raw jalapeños and chopped cilantro then serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- This soup can be adjusted for spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños.
- Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
