Spicy Shrimp Broth might be just the main course you are searching for. One portion of this dish contains roughly 23g of protein, 8g of fat, and a total of 198 calories. This gluten free, dairy free, and primal recipe serves 6. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. A mixture of mexican shrimp powder, tomato, bell pepper, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert.

Instructions

Bring the reserved shrimp shells and seafood stock to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, stirring and skimming the surface occasionally. Strain the broth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to release as much liquid as possible. Return the broth to the pot and keep warm.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Ziobaffan Organic Pinot Grigio with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
