• porções: 6 servings
• tempo ativo: 20 minutes
• tempo total: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredientes

1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, shells reserved

8 cups seafood stock

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small white onion, diced

1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

2 stalks celery, diced

Instruções

Bring the reserved shrimp shells and seafood stock to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, stirring and skimming the surface occasionally. Strain the broth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to release as much liquid as possible. Return the broth to the pot and keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot, celery and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato and chiles de arbol and cook 5 more minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and dried shrimp powder and cook 3 minutes.

Add the cooked vegetables to the broth. Cook over medium-low heat, covered, 1 hour, 30 minutes. Add the shrimp. Turn off the heat and let stand 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve with lime wedges.
