Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 small onion diced
- 1/2 head cauliflower chopped
- 4 medium potatoes chopped
- 4 cups warm water
- 2 teaspoons salt plus more, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus more, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, plus more, to taste, for garnish
Directions
- In a large pan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of the olive oil.
- Add the onions to the heated olive oil and sauté, about 1 minute.
- Add the cauliflower pieces and the potatoes to the onions and cook until the onions become transparent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the water, 2 teaspoons of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, and the cayenne pepper to the veggie mixture and bring it to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil, stir in the heavy cream.
- Cover the pan and cook the soup until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- While the soup is cooking, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil, the butter, the shrimp, the garlic, the extra salt, the extra black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the parsley and sauté until the shrimp reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to a large plate and cover to keep them warm.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack. Carefully use an immersion blender to purée the soup until it is smooth.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and evenly top with the shrimp.
- Serve the soup garnished with the extra parsley.
