  • Total time: 55 minutes

Yield

  • Serves 6

Directions

  1. Heat butter and oil in large soup pot. Add onions, carrot, celery, and frozen shrimp. Cover and cook on high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until shrimp are opaque (pink). Leave 12 shrimp in pot and using a spaghetti fork, remove remaining shrimp to a bowl. Refrigerate.
  2. Meanwhile, make slurry by adding brandy, flour, tomato paste, salt and cayenne to medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and add to soup pot, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
  3. Slowly add fish stock, Coconut Milk and 1/4 cup water to pot, whisking until incorporated. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. While soup is cooking, peel cooled shrimp and chop into bite size pieces. Reserve.
  4. Working in batches, purée soup (yes, with unpeeled shrimp) in blender. Pour blended soup through a fine mesh strainer into bowl. With back of large spoon, rub soup through strainer, discarding solids. Pour soup back into pot and add reserved shrimp. Stir and bring to a simmer. Serve with chopped chives.
