This is my take on a 30 minute meal - Rachael Ray recipe (her original recipe called for seasoning the olive oil with the shrimp tails and garlic and then grilling the shrimp, both of which were way too complicated for me). It is actually a "soup", as it's broth based, not creamy. Very fresh and tasty. She said to feel free to add more broth and some cooked rice to stretch the soup even further. She also said you can add some chopped chipotle chiles and serve the soup with sour cream and tortilla chips if you like.
