Ingredients
Scale
For the Broth
- 8 cups water
- ½ cup white or light miso paste (gluten-free if preferred)
- 8 cloves garlic, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh horseradish root, peeled and grated
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar (with the “mother”)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- Juice of 1 large lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- Zest of ½ lemon (optional, for extra brightness)
For the Shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional for color)
For Garnish
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- Fresh parsley or cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté the Shrimp: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Build the Flavor Base: In a bowl, combine the grated garlic, ginger, and horseradish. Add turmeric, vinegar, oil, and salt, stirring to form a paste. Set aside.
- Heat the Broth: In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Once steaming, lower the heat slightly.
- Blend the Miso Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk ½ cup of the hot water into the miso paste until smooth. Stir the miso blend into the aromatic paste until well mixed.
- Combine and Infuse: Turn off the heat under the pot of water. Slowly whisk in the miso-aromatic mixture until fully combined. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring gently to finish. Do not boil once miso and lemon are added — this keeps their nutrients and probiotics intact.
- Assemble the Soup: Divide the cooked shrimp evenly into serving bowls. Ladle the hot miso-lemon broth over the shrimp. Garnish with sliced scallions, and optionally, a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy the light, cleansing flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the broth does not boil after adding miso and lemon to preserve probiotics and nutrients.
- You can substitute avocado oil with coconut oil or olive oil if preferred.
- Use gluten-free miso paste if you require a gluten-free dish.
- Optional paprika adds a nice color but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can be adjusted to taste for garnish.
