Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, chopped
4 large carrots, diced
1 Tablespoon ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
3 cups gf Chicken Stock
3 Tablespoons gf soy sauce
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/2 cup light coconut milk
2/3 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. large shrimp, shelled & deveined
1/4 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

In a large deep saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the carrots, ginger and hot red pepper flakes; cook for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the carrots are very tender. Remove from the heat and whisk in the gf soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, peanut butter and sesame oil. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan and stir in the coconut milk and milk. Adjust seasonings to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm over low heat.

Place the shredded coconut and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a bowl and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season the shrimp with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place 3-4 shrimp in the coconut mixture and toss to coat the shrimp on all sides. Transfer the shrimp to a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining shrimp. Bake the shrimp at 425°F for 8 minutes or until pink.

Ladle the carrot soup into 6 shallow soup bowls. Place 2-3 shrimp in the center of the soup and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
