    Directions

    1. In a large saucepan, saute/fry onions and garlic in the extra virgin olive oil for about 5 min, till golden brown. Fold in tomatoes, mushrooms, parsley/celery leaves, bay leaf, black pepper, and piri piri. Turn heat to low and cook tomatoes down - about 10 to 15 min. Slowly pour in the reserved tomato juice, fish stock, and wine - whisk through and bring to a boil.
    2. When the broth is bubbling, grate in the potatoes and allow to thicken. Reduce heat, stir in the peeled shrimp, and simmer for 10 to 15 min. Season to taste. Ladle into soup plates and top with minced cilantro. Serve immediately.
    3. Comments: Rib-sticking and spicy good - a substantial first course; add in a few more shrimp and you have a whole meal. Serve warm to 4 people.
