GARLIC SOUP WITH SHRIMP image

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/8 cup extra virigin olive oil
5 medium garlic cloves, peeled
2 thick slices of French or Italian bread
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
3 cups chicken stock or shrimp stock
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled
Fresh parsley, minced
Salt and pepper

Steps:

Procedure 1. Pour the oil into a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook, flipping them occasionally, for about 10 minutes. They should be nicely browned. If they are cooking too fast, reduce heat to medium-low. You don't want them to burn. Remove them and set aside. 2. Turn heat to medium-low and add as many slices of bread that will fit in a single layer. Cook until browned on both sides, about four minutes. Remove and set aside. Repeat with other slices. 3. Pour in the stock and turn the heat to medium-high. When it's just about to boil, toss in the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are cooked and pink, about 4 minutes. 4. Place a slice of bread and a few cloves of garlic in four separate bowls. Ladle in some of the soup with shrimp. Garnish with a bit of parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
