So here it is...my last recipe....Enjoy.
Grilled Spiced Shrimp and Black Bean Soup
This recipe serves: 8
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Ingredients
2 cups dried black turtle beans, soaked
1 strip bacon, diced
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1 tablespoon minced jalapeņo chili pepper
freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro stems
6 cups low-sodium canned chicken or vegetable broth
salt to taste
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons "shrimp and crab boil spices" such as Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped, fresh chives
Cooking Instructions
1. Drain the beans and set aside.
2. Cook the bacon in a 4-quart pot over low-medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion, celery, green pepper and jalapeņo pepper, season lightly with black pepper and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Add the bay leaf, cilantro stems, beans and broth and bring to a boil quickly over high heat.
4. Lower the heat and simmer until the beans are completely tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, preheat the grill for the shrimp. Mix the shrimp and spices together and grill them on both sides until they are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Let them cool slightly. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, cut them in half.
6. Remove and discard the bay leaf, puree half of the soup in a blender and then add it to the rest of the soup. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
7. Divide the shrimp among the soup bowls, mounding them in the middle, and ladle the soup around them. Garnish with chopped chives.
NOTE: Do not add salt until the beans are fully cooked because salt will prevent them from becoming tender.
