Caldo de Camarón, or Mexican Shrimp Soup, is a hearty soup full of shrimp and veggies. Usually made with yummy, comforting goodness and lots of love. Mexican seafood food at its best!

Caldo de Camaron

There is a multitude of ways shrimp soup is made in Mexico, and each region can have its own recipes. In the Huasteca region, for example, there is a version where corn dough is diluted in water and added to the soup to form a slightly thick soup, called Huatape. I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe.

Caldo de Camarón

Peels (shells from 1 lb. of raw shrimp)

¼ of a medium size white onion

garlic

bay leaf

water

Lb. of plum tomatoes (about 4)

1¼ cup of peeled & diced potatoes

chipotle pepper in adobo (optional)

Fresh Epazote leaves*

Lb. of raw shrimp (peels removed (use peels to make the broth))

Lime wedges to serve

Place shrimp peels, onion, garlic, and bay leaf in a saucepan with the 5 cups of water. Turn on the heat to medium-high. Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to simmer for about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.

Cook the Shrimp:

While the broth is simmering, place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a hot griddle to roast. Turn from time to time to have an even roasting. This step will take about 8 minutes. Remove the garlic promptly since it takes less time to roast; if you leave it too long, it will burn and have a bitter taste.

Once the tomatoes, onion, and garlic are ready, place them into a blender along with the chipotle peppers (if using). Process until you have a fine pure. If needed, chop the tomatoes to avoid having big chunks in the salsa before placing them in the blender.

Roast the Tomatoes:

In a medium-sized pot, heat the oil at medium temperature, add the carrots and cook for a couple of minutes. Then, stir in the potatoes and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring often to keep them from sticking to the pan.

Pour the tomato sauce using a strainer, bring it to a boil, and then lower the heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Then, using a strainer add the shrimp broth, stir in the shrimp and gently simmer for 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. The shrimp will be a light orange color but still look firm; do not overcook, or the shrimp will have a rubbery texture. Add the epazote and cook for 2 more minutes, then season with fresh ground pepper and salt. Serve immediately.

Saute and mix the rest of the ingredients:

I made this as the recipe stated; using cilantro in place of epazote. I did any a little bit of minced Serrano in my bowl for a little exact heat.
Though I did like the potatoes in it, I think next try I may skip the potatoes and add cooked white rice to my bowl.

Made this soup last night. I added a serrano pepper with the tomato mixture in blender.It was delicious!!! I have tried several of your recipes.... Thanks

About to make this for the first ever and its for my seafood loving dad. Wish me luck!
