2 tablespoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon black pepper
5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 quarts low−sodium chicken broth
8 ounces clam juice
3 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds raw peeled shrimp, with tails
French bread, for dipping
Partially break up the rosemary, thyme, and fennel seed with fingers or mortar/pestle.
Place all ingredients, except wine and shrimp, in a large pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes and add
wine. Continue to simmer for a total cooking time of no more than 2 hours.
Just before serving, add raw shrimp. Simmer until shrimp is done, stirring, about 2 minutes.
Serve. Each bowl should contain a serving of shrimp and a lot of broth, which should almost
completely cover the shrimp. The dish is eaten with your fingers. Soak up the broth with the bread.
Serving size: 4.
