Brazilian Shrimp Soup
Now I’m a 100% certified soup person. There’s just something about the flavors you can develop in all the different varieties that are out there. Sometimes I feel that tomato soup, a western classic, is missing a little something. And recently I’ve learned that that something is shrimp! If you’ve never sampled this Brazilian classic then I am about to be your favorite person this side of the Northern Hemisphere. With bright tomato and lemon, plump and juicy shrimp, and creamy coconut milk, this soup will warm you from the inside out. So let’s get this soup sizzlin’!
What Is Brazilian Shrimp Soup?
Also known as Moqueca De Camaro, this seafood soup was created in Brazil. Since there’s so many coastal town and villages in Brazil each has their own signature twist on this dish. It uses a varieties of protein, but today I decided to stick with shrimp as it’s the perfect intro protein for this delectable dish. Because Brazilian Shrimp Soup is such a treasured dish, I just couldn’t wait to share it with my readers today.
Ingredients In Brazilian Shrimp Soup
Olive oil – I chose olive oil today because we want something neutral tasting to saute the base of our dish. Veggies – Just onion and bell pepper chopped up fine are all we need for this dish. Crushed tomatoes – 1 large can dumped in. Garlic – Use as much or little as you like. Rice – Uncooked long grain is preferred but you’re free to use whichever rice you see fit, keep in mind it may change the cook time. Red pepper flakes – This is the spice element to our dish but feel free to leave out if you’re spice averse. Coconut milk – One can of this super silky stuff is all we need. Lemon juice – Go for the fresh stuff, trust me on this one. Shrimp – the star of our dish. I used fresh medium shrimp. Salt & pepper – Lots of seasoning is definitely needed. Parsley – Minced fine for garnish to sprinkle on top.
