Materials

  • 1 pound Large shrimp I like 21-25 count (peeled & deveined)
  • 1 ½ TBS fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1 TBS grapeseed or olive oil
  • 1 jalapeno minced
  • 1 heaping cup of Vidalia onion minced
  • ¾ cup diced carrot
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped (or 3-4 TBS garlic paste or a combination)
  • ½ TBS smoky paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red cayenne pepper (Optional) See notes
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 48 oz seafood stock or vegetable stock
  • 1 14.5 oz can tomatoes fire roasted if you see them
  • 1 14 oz can coconut milk I like Thai Kitchen
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • More red cayenne pepper if you like after you taste it.
  • Snipped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Dry-pat your shrimp and fish. Cut the fish into slices that are around 2 inches thick and long. Place the fish in a basin and mix it with the lemon juice. Put away.
  • After preheating a soup pot, add oil, and sauté the onions, carrots, and jalapeños for three to four minutes. As you whisk, add a little salt and pepper for seasoning. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds after adding it.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, red pepper flakes, and paprika before adding your stock. After letting it come to a simmer, let it stay that way for a few minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and your tomatoes, along with their juice.
  • Once this reaches a simmer once more, taste and adjust the spice with additional red pepper, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the shrimp, then carefully add the fish. Gently stir until finished, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Transfer to bowls and sprinkle with parsley and/or a slice of lemon or lime.
