Sweet potatoes are great this time of year, and this quick soup is a great way to showcase their rich flavor. The sweet red pepper flavor and deep cumin notes in Izak N.37 go great with the creamy potatoes and sweet shrimp.
Soup
4
Lior Lev Sercarz.
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 pound peeled raw large shrimp (U20)
2 tsp + 2 tsp Izak N.37 plus more for garnish
Olive oil
1 lemon
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep sauté pan over medium high heat, toss the sweet potatoes and onion with 2 tsp Izak and fry until lightly browned. Add water to cover the vegetables, the garlic clove, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes and onions are soft (about 30 minutes). Toss the shrimp in a bowl with 2 tsp Izak and set aside.
In a skillet heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side and set aside on a warm plate.
Puree the soup with an immersion blender, or carefully in batches in a regular blender. You can add cream if you'd like a richer soup. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Plate the soup in 4 shallow bowls with the shrimp on top and garnish with additional Izak, some olive oil, and fresh lemon juice.
