Spanish Style Shrimp Soup Recipe 485

Steps:

• Combine shrimp shells and tails with water, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to simmer. Skim foam as it rises from the broth. After 15 minutes, strain out and discard the shells and tails, reserving broth. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for a minute. Mix in the diced tomatoes with their juices and saffron. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Add the vegetables to the broth. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, just until the shrimp turn opaque and pinkish. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with kosher salt and paprika. Mix to coat.
• Heat garlic and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley with a spoon.
