I found this recipe by Giada De Laurentiis on foodtv.com. I have never made mussels or clams and I was delighted with the results. Do not omit the basil, I think it adds a lot to this recipe and make sure you have the warm, crusty bread to dip in the broth!

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
8 cups seafood stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 stalks celery, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 tomato, seeded and diced
4 dried chiles de arbol, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Mexican dried shrimp powder (optional)
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring the reserved shrimp shells and seafood stock to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, stirring and skimming the surface occasionally. Strain the broth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to release as much liquid as possible. Return the broth to the pot and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot, celery and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato and chiles de arbol and cook 5 more minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and dried shrimp powder and cook 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked vegetables to the broth. Cook over medium-low heat, covered, 1 hour, 30 minutes. Add the shrimp. Turn off the heat and let stand 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve with lime wedges.

Shrimp in a Spicy Ginger-Cilantro Broth - Clean Eating image

This is out of the Fall 2008 clean eating magazine...So I made this tonight...7/21/12...mine turned out very much like the photo in the magazine...it was a pale yellow like chicken broth...not sure what happen with the 1st reviewer...I used steamed broccoli and threw in a touch of sliced chili pepper for additional color and heat...I do think that a splash of lime would really bring all the flavors together...hope you enjoy it!

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups chicken broth, reduced sodium
1 bunch cilantro
2 inches ginger, fresh, peeled
2 garlic cloves
1 chili pepper, Thai
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen asian-style vegetables (can use steamed fresh)

Steps:

  • Pour chicken broth into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave covered on high until broth is hot, approximately 3 minutes, depending on the power of your appliance.
  • Meanwhile, chop cilantro, including stems.
  • Reserve 1 cup of chopped leaves for garnish.
  • Thinly slice ginger.
  • Crush garlic cloves with the flat side of your knife.
  • Cut chili pepper in half: remove seeds if you want less heat in your soup.
  • When broth is hot, pour into a medium saucepan.
  • Add chopped cilantro stems and leaves (except reserved cup) ginger, garlic and chili pepper and cover.
  • Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Strain broth into the microwave-safe bowl, then return strained broth to saucepan.
  • Add shrimp and vegetables.
  • Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Garnish with cilantro leaves you've set aside and discard the rest.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. You can also remove the veins, but this is optional. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly with cold water.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs will help to add flavor and keep the shrimp moist. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 15 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp are done cooking when they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including carrots, celery, onion, and bell peppers. You can also use other vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • Season the broth to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.
  • Serve the broth immediately: Shrimp broth is best served immediately, while it is still hot. You can garnish the broth with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp broth is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. This recipe is also very versatile, and you can easily customize it to your own taste. For example, you can add more or less spice, use different vegetables, or add other ingredients, such as rice or noodles.
