Speedy Spiced Prawn Soup Recipes

SPEEDY SPICED PRAWN SOUP

Steps:

• Place the prawns in a bowl of cold water so they start to defrost.
• Meanwhile, dry fry and toast the rice for 3 minutes in a large shallow casserole pan on a high heat, stirring regularly, while you trim and finely slice the spring onions.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the spring onions and korma paste to the pan. Stir for 2 minutes, then pour in the coconut milk and 2½ tins' worth of water. Boil for 12 minutes, stirring everything occasionally.
• With 6 minutes to go, drain the prawns, finely chop and stir into the soup.
• When the rice is cooked through and the soup is your desired consistency, taste, season to utter perfection with sea salt and black pepper, and dish up.

SPICY KILLER SHRIMP SOUP

Steps:

• Whisk together the wine and the tomato paste in a medium saucepan until the tomato paste dissolves.
• Stir in the broth, fennel seeds, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, bay leaf and thyme sprig; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly reduced and very flavorful, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the broth mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan; discard the solids. Add the coconut milk, lemon zest and lemon juice to the broth mixture; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the shrimp and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring until the butter melts. Serve the soup in shallow bowls and sprinkle with the parsley.
