Spicy Prawn Soup Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat a wok, add the oil, then stir-fry the veg and mushrooms for 2-3 mins. Take out and set aside, then tip the curry paste into the pan and fry for 1 min.
• Pour in the coconut milk and stock. Bring to the boil, drop in the noodles and prawns, then reduce the heat and simmer for 4 mins until the prawns are cooked through. Stir in the veg, then serve.

Steps:

• Coat the prawns in the soy sauce and mix in the cornflour.
• Put the oil in a pan, not too hot. Add the spring onions and start to cook. Add the coated prawns after 1 minute.
• Mix the soup 'goo' ingredients to make a thick paste, then add to the pan. After a minute, add the water gradually until you have a soup consistency that suits you (bearing in mind that you'll be adding noodles and beansprouts shortly).
• Add the beansprouts and noodles and cook for a couple of minutes until the beansprouts are cooked but still slightly crunchy.
• Serve with hunks of bread to soak up the garlicky, spicy liquid and to mop up the bowl!

Steps:

• Heat the garlic, lemon juice, ketchup and stock together in a frying pan. Simmer until syrupy and thickened.
• Add the prawns and some seasoning, then heat through. Serve with broccoli, steamed rice and lemon wedges.
