Recipe Ingredients
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp
- 1 tsp adobo, or all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tbsp sofrito
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small pumpkin, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3½ cups vegetable broth
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups spinach
- Microgreens, for garnish
Recipe Directions
1. Season the Shrimp
Season the shrimp with adobo and sofrito, making sure each piece is well coated. Set aside to marinate briefly while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Cook the Shrimp
Heat the olive oil in your Larder & Vine Pumpkin Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until they are halfway cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pot and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same pot, add the pumpkin, carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
4. Add Broth and Simmer
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the green onion, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low-medium and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
5. Blend Until Smooth
Once the vegetables are soft, use an immersion blender to carefully blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
6. Add Spinach and Shrimp
Return the shrimp to the pot along with the spinach. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and the shrimp are fully cooked through.
7. Garnish and Serve
