Yield: 6 cups
Serving size: 1 1/2 cups

–>Marinade
1 1/2 lb medium shrimp
1 1/2 Tbsp grated lime rind
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 Tbsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed

–>Shrimp stock:
2 cups water
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 Tbsp tomato paste

–>Soup
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion

To prepare marinade, peel shrimp, reserving shells. Combine shrimp and

To prepare the shrimp stock, combine the reserved shrimp shells, water,
wine and 1 tablespoon tomato paste in a large Dutch oven. Bring mixture

(about 10 minutes). Strain mixture through a sieve over a bowl, and
discard solids.

To prepare the soup, heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium
heat. Add onion and celery, and sautй 8 minutes or until browned. Add
1 cup shrimp stock, coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste, scraping
pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil. Lightly spoon flour into a
dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour and reduced-fat
milk in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add to pan; reduce heat,
and simmer until thick (about 5 minutes). Add shrimp and marinade, and
cook 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime rind, 1 tablespoon cilantro,
and salt.
