Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper chopped (I used a red one)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup rice long-grain
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 28 ounce crushed tomatoes (1 large can)
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened
- 1 pound medium shrimp shelled and cut in 1 inch pieces
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon
- ½ cup parsley fresh, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large soup pot heat the olive oil over low heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and cook stirring occasionally until the onion and pepper are soft. About 5 minutes.
- Add the rice, red pepper flakes, salt, tomatoes and water to the pot and bring a boil. Cook until the rice is almost done, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the coconut milk into the soup. Bring to a simmer and then stir in the shrimp. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is just done, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the black pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.

Notes
- Heavy cream could be used as a substitute for the coconut milk.
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
