Make

  1. Preheat oven to 450F (232C) degrees.
  2. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in cooking oil and then onions, garlic, and ginger to heated oil with a generous dash of salt. Saute for ~3 minutes.
  3. Add in apples and carrots. Pour in enough water to just almost cover ingredients. Add in salt and sweetener. Cover and bring to a boil.
  4. Lower heat and simmer covered for another 10 to 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
  5. While soup is cooking, line sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil or brush with some cooking oil (not listed in ingredients list, just use your judgment).
  6. Holding shrimp by tail, dip into coconut milk and then into breading (this would be a fun kid's activity!). Transfer to sheet pan. Continue until all the shrimp are coated.
  7. Bake 8 to 11 minutes in the oven, until shrimp are golden and opaque when sliced through.
  8. Return back to soup. Puree with an immersion blender or transfer in batches to a blender and puree until smooth. Stir in coconut milk and season to taste with more salt or sweetener. Serve with coconut shrimp! (you can even use the soup as a dipping 'sauce')
