Method

1. Peel the shrimp and set the meat aside; keep the heads and shells for the broth.
2. Finely chop the onion and carrot, then soften them in a pot with half the olive oil for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the shrimp heads and shells to the pot, toast for 2 minutes over medium heat, then cover with 400ml of water.
4. Stir in the tomato paste and simmer the broth for 15 minutes, then strain it through a fine sieve.
5. Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, then cook them in the strained broth until tender (about 10 minutes).
6. Add the shrimp meat to the soup and cook for just 2 minutes until pink and firm.
7. Turn off the heat, stir in the remaining oil and fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Tips

• Do not overcook the shrimp meat; adding it at the very end ensures it stays juicy and tender.
• For a creamier texture, blend two tablespoons of the cooked potatoes back into the broth before adding the shrimp.
