SPICY KILLER SHRIMP SOUP

Steps:

• Whisk together the wine and the tomato paste in a medium saucepan until the tomato paste dissolves.
• Stir in the broth, fennel seeds, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, bay leaf and thyme sprig; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly reduced and very flavorful, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the broth mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan; discard the solids. Add the coconut milk, lemon zest and lemon juice to the broth mixture; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the shrimp and simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring until the butter melts. Serve the soup in shallow bowls and sprinkle with the parsley.

JAMAICAN PEPPER SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Wearing latex gloves, prepare Scotch bonnet peppers; preparation will depend on your heat tolerance. For very spicy heat, stem and chop or slice peppers, keeping seeds and white pith; for medium heat, stem and seed peppers, then chop or slice; for mild heat, leave peppers whole, including stems.
• In a medium bowl, add shrimp with Scotch bonnets, bell pepper, onion, thyme, garlic, annatto oil (or neutral oil), salt, annatto powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine well. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Using a gloved hand, scrape aromatic vegetables and herbs off shrimp and set shrimp aside in a clean bowl. Add water to vegetable marinade, then pour mixture into a stainless-steel skillet large enough to hold shrimp in a single layer.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat, add allspice berries, then cover and cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add vinegar, turn heat to medium-low, and add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
• Turn off heat, uncover, and stir until shrimp are just cooked through and no longer translucent, about 2 minutes longer. Season with additional salt, if desired.
• Transfer shrimp to a serving plate and let cool slightly. Discard cooking liquid and vegetables. Serve shrimp warm or at room temperature, peeling them at the table.
