CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• To make the soup, combine the sweet potatoes, 1 cup of coconut milk and the chicken broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Place in a food processor and puree until smooth. Mix in the remaining coconut milk and the salt. Reheat before serving, and stir in the lime juice and additional salt, if needed.
• To make the condiments, combine the ginger, lemon juice, oil and salt in a shallow dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the broiler. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place the bananas on a greased baking sheet and broil until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Place the shrimp, bananas, coconut, almonds and cilantro in separate bowls.
• Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Serve, passing the condiments, including Tabasco, separately.
