MAGGIE'S SHRIMP TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp and set aside (if they are large I cut into chunks.).
• In a small bowl, blend the paprika, cayenne, black pepper, oregano, salt, garlic & sugar. Set aside.
• Pour a small amount of oil into 4 quart Dutch oven or pot. Add the onions, cilantro and jalapeno. Sauté just until the onion is transparent, then stir in the chopped tomatoes.
• Add the spice mix and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add tomato juice and water and simmer another 10 minutes.
• Add shrimp and cook 5 minutes or just until shrimp are done. Do not overcook.
• While soup is simmering, cut tortillas into strips and place on a pammed cookie sheet. Spray with olive oil; sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake at 350 for about 5 to 7 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn.
• To serve, place a layer of tortilla strips in the bottom of a shallow soup bowl. Ladle soup on top then garnish with cheese. Add a lime wedge on the side.

SHRIMP TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• Mix the cumin, chili pepper, garlic powder and salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle half the mixture over the shrimp in a large bowl along with 1/4 cup of the tequila and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Toss to coat the shrimp well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. Reserve the remaining spice mix.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and the remaining spice mix and cook for another minute. Add the stock, black beans, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
• Mix the cornmeal or masa with a small amount of water in a bowl. Pour into the soup, then simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Check the seasonings, adding more chili powder if it needs more spice and more salt if needed. Turn off the heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup tequila and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, grill the shrimp: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray or brush with oil. Shake off any excess marinade and grill the shrimp until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Five minutes before serving, gently stir the tortilla strips into the soup.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each bowl with 3 shrimp and some avocado, red onion, sour cream, cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
