Amount Ingredient
1 lb raw shrimp peeled
4 cup fish stock
1 x onion coarsely chopped
2 x garlic cloves minced
2 tbl olive oil
3 x canned tomatoes - (to 4) seeded, chopped,
reserving their juice
3 x mushrooms - (to 4) sliced
1 x handful parsley and celery leaves finely minced
1 x bay leaf
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/8 tsp piri piri or cayenne
1 cup vinho verde or other dry white wine
2 x potatoes
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Instructions: In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, until golden. Mix in tomatoes, mushrooms, parsley/celery leaves, bay leaf, black pepper, and piri piri. Turn heat to low and cook tomatoes down - about 10 to 15 minutes. Slowly pour in the reserved tomato juice, fish stock, and wine - whisk through and bring to a boil.

When the broth is bubbling, grate in the potatoes and allow to thicken. Reduce heat, stir in the peeled shrimp, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste. Ladle into soup plates and top with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Comments: Rib-sticking and spicy good - a substantial first course; add a few more shrimp and you have a whole meal. Serve hot to 4 people.
