Spicy Coconut Shrimp Soup

Spicy Spicy!  Whew.  This is a simple but delicious paleo soup that I found on The Meanest Momma blog.  The colors are quite impressive. I did not have cilatro or avocado to top but I think they would make a great addition. Or even a dollop of greek yogurt to tame the spice.  (I have a super low heat tolerance so many may think this needs more spice!)

Ingredients

2T coconut oil

1 onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 jalapenos, seeded and diced

2lbs shrimp, uncooked but shelled

1 can diced tomato

1 can coconut milk

3 garlic cloves, diced

1T Sriracha

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (I did not have so left out)
1 lime, juiced (I did not use)

Directions

Heat oil in non-reactive pot over medium heat.

Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeno and cook til onion translucent (~5min)

Add garlic, tomato, shrimp and cilantro and simmer til shrimp turns opaque (~5min)

Pour in coconut milk and Sriracha and simmer for another 3-5 minutes to let the flavors combine

Finish with lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste
