We had this last month some time and we all enjoyed it. Unfortunately since I didn't post this right away I can't remember if there was anything we wished different. It was really easy to quick to make.

Brazilian Shrimp Soup

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c long grain rice
pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tsp salt
1 15oz can crushed tomatoes
4 c water
1 c canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and cut into inch pieces
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley

In a large pot heat the olive oil over low heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and cook stirring occasionally until the onion and pepper are soft.

Add the rice, red pepper flakes, salt, tomatoes and water to the pot and bring to boil. Cook until the rice is almost done, about 10 minutes.

Stir the coconut milk into the soup. Bring to a simmer and then stir in the shrimp. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just done, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.

Bon Appetite!
