There's an awesome little restaurant in Marina Del Rey, California, that serves one thing—shrimp soup. This spicy herb soup has lots of broth, flavor, and a little kick. This recipe is the best. It doesn't need any fancy presentation. Simply ladle it into big bowls and serve with some crusty bread to soak up the broth.
