Caldo de Camarón

Enjoy this Caldo de Camarón, a traditional Mexican shrimp soup loaded with earthy flavors, chunky vegetables, and whole shrimp. The recipe is super easy to make and is cozy, tasty, and fulfilling.

Ingredients

Shrimp. You can use fresh shrimp or frozen and thawed shrimp. I prefer leaving the tails on but feel free to remove them.
Chilies. Use dried chipotle chiles and guajillo for the amazing smoky flavor and bright color. If you can’t find those chilies you can substitute them with canned chipotle en adobo peppers and 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika.
Tomatoes & onions. To make the sauce, use the ripened tomatoes you can find or substitute them with canned tomato sauce.
Vegetables. You will need carrots, potatoes, and cauliflower for this recipe, but other vegetables work fine too, such as green beans, calabacitas (zucchini), chayote, celery, etc.
Seasonings. Garlic, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, epazote, oregano, and salt.

For the broth/fumet (optional):

Shrimp. You will use the heads and shells of the cleaned shrimp.
Vegetables. Use any scraps from the vegetables you will add to the soup. I used cauliflower scraps, onion, and some carrots.
Seasonings & herbs. Garlic, bay leaves, and salt.
