Steps

  • To make the chickpea and shrimp soup, chop carrot, celery, parsley, and leek finely.

  • In a pan, pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the previously made chop; if you like, add some chopped chili pepper. Cook over low heat.

  • Then add halved cherry tomatoes and cook on high heat for a few minutes. Next, add the chickpeas, cover with hot water, and cook over medium heat. Salt at the end of cooking.

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

  • In a pan, pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some chopped parsley, heat over moderate heat. Add the shrimp and sauté in the pan. Add a pinch of salt and cook the shrimp for three minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked.

  • Finally, add the shrimp to the chickpeas and let it cook on the heat for a few minutes. Then serve with toasted bread. Enjoy your meal!
