Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green works)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice level)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnishing
- Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they’re tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, corn, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the soup is simmering, add the shrimp. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you like it spicier, now’s the time to add more cayenne!
- When ready to serve, garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for that extra zing!
