Categories     Soup/Stew     Shellfish

Yield 4 1

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 serrano chile, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups seafood broth or stock or clam juice
1 14-ounce can "lite" coconut milk
3 ripe mangoes, diced (see Tip)
1 1/4 pounds raw shrimp (21-25 count; see Note), peeled and deveined
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, chile (if using), curry powder and thyme; stir constantly for 30 seconds. Add broth (or stock or clam juice), coconut milk and mangoes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Puree 3 cups of the soup in a blender. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Return the puree to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add shrimp and cook until pink and firm, about 3 minutes. Stir in scallions and salt. TIPS & NOTES Tip: To peel and dice a mango, slice both ends off to reveal the long, slender seed. Set the fruit upright and remove the skin with a sharp knife. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two large pieces. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side. Dice into desired size. Note: Shrimp is usually sold by the number needed to make one pound. For example, "21-25 count" means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as "large" or "extra large," are not standardized, so to get the size you want, order by the count per pound. Both wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp can damage the surrounding ecosystems when not managed properly. Fortunately, it is possible to buy shrimp that have been raised or caught with sound environmental practices. Look for fresh or frozen shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as the Marine Stewardship Council. If you can't find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp from North America-it's more likely to be sustainably caught.

Overall, I found this soup to be just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less mango or adding some tart ingredients, such as lemon juice or lime juice, to balance out the sweetness.

I didn't like the combination of shrimp and mango. I think the flavors clashed.

The soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as water or broth, to thin it out.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less curry powder or adding some yogurt to cool it down.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. The mango and spinach add a lot of nutrients to the soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this soup was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this soup was surprisingly delicious. The sweetness of the mango really mellows out the curry spices.

This Jamaican Curried Shrimp and Mango Soup is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The shrimp is perfectly cooked and the mango adds a refreshing sweetness that balances out the curry spices.
