Time 3h15m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined and halved lengthwise
2 medium butternut squashes, quartered and seeded
4 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • To make the shrimp, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, coriander, pepper flakes, salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, to make the soup, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the squash in a large roasting pan with enough water to make a depth of 1/8 inch. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and roast until soft, about 50 minutes.
  • When squash is cool enough to handle, pull off the skin. Place half of the squash in a blender with half of the chicken broth and puree until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan and repeat with the remaining squash and broth.
  • Stir in the cream, orange zest, coriander, salt and pepper. Reheat just before serving.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the shrimp and add to the skillet. Saute until just cooked through, about 30 seconds per side.
  • Ladle the soup into 8 shallow bowls. Garnish with the shrimp and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve at once.
