  • 7 oz shrimp
  • 1 carrot
  • to taste curry
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil

Tools

Preparation

  • To make the chickpea soup with shrimp, pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the diced carrot into a pan.

  • After about 10 minutes, also add the chickpeas and continue cooking. If necessary, add more hot water (or broth).

  • When the chickpeas and carrots are well cooked, blend them with an immersion blender until you get a creamy mixture. If it turns out too dense, add some hot water.

  • Put the soup back in the pan, adjust the salt, and warm it up a bit more.

  • Wash the shrimp under running water, removing the head and shell. Then remove the internal intestine: cut the back of the shrimp with a knife and gently pull it out, being careful not to break it.

  • In a pan, pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, chopped rosemary, and a teaspoon of curry. Heat at moderate heat.

  • Add the shrimp and sauté them in the pan. Add a pinch of salt and cook the shrimp for three minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked.

  • Plate the chickpea soup, garnish it with shrimp, and serve. Enjoy your meal!
