The hot summer days are about to begin, dishes that are cooling and easy to digest are always prioritized in every family meal. Instead of greasy fried and stir-fried dishes that are greasy, a hot bowl of soup with a mild sour taste from pineapple blended with the natural sweetness of seafood will be a great choice.
Accordingly, fish and shrimp soup with pineapple is an attractive dish because of the harmony of delicate flavors and also provides enough nutrients, helping the body quickly restore energy after a tiring working day.
To make pineapple shrimp and fish soup, prepare 300g of fresh snakehead fish or red tilapia fillets, 200g of medium-sized fresh shrimp. Choosing fish with firm, sweet meat will make the dish more attractive and beautiful after cooking.
Additional vegetables and spices include 1/4 ripe pineapple, 1 red tomato, 100g boiled peas or sweet corn, 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch and spices such as fish sauce, seasoning powder, minced shallots, cilantro and ground pepper.
Pre-process fish and shrimp fillets with very clean diluted salt water, then slice them into small dice and marinate with a little ground pepper. Pineapple and tomatoes are also sliced into dice.
Heat the pot with a little cooking oil, sauté shallots until fragrant, then add tomatoes and pineapple and stir-fry briefly before adding 1.2 liters of broth to the pot. Using ripe pineapple is the secret to creating a natural sour taste and effectively removing the fishy smell of seafood.
When the water has boiled, take turns adding fish, shrimp and peas to cook. Housewives should pay attention to skimping frequently to make the soup clear. Next, dissolve tapioca starch with a little filtered water and slowly pour it into the pot, stirring gently until the soup has a satisfactory consistency.
Standard shrimp and pineapple fish soup needs to have eye-catching colors from tomatoes and pineapples, and a light sweetness from seafood blended with a mild sour taste. This dish should be enjoyed while still hot with a little coriander to enhance the delicious flavor.
