Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 ripe honeydew, seeded
1 small fennel bulb, coarsely chopped
1 celery heart stalk, coarsely chopped
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 jalapeƱos, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
1 fresh green Thai chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus more to taste and wedges for serving
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste
Crushed red chile flakes
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, very thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
1 pound large (16- to 20-count) shrimp, shelled and deveined
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut away the honeydew rind and the dark green flesh close to the rind. Cut the honeydew into 1-inch chunks. You should have 4 cups of melon.
  • Put the melon in a blender along with the fennel, celery, cucumber, and jalapeƱos. Blend on low speed until almost smooth. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids. Stir in the minced chile, lime juice, salt, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover tightly and refrigerate until very cold.
  • When ready to serve, heat your grill on high until very hot.
  • Sprinkle salt, chile flakes, and the mint all over the shrimp, then gently press in the seasonings. Drizzle a little oil all over the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, flipping once, until just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. Skewer to serve if desired.
  • Divide the cold soup among cold serving bowls. Serve the hot shrimp on small plates next to the bowls. Drizzle a little oil over the soup and shrimp. Garnish the soup with mint and squirt a little lime juice over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
