Chilled Cucumber Soup with Salt-Roasted Shrimp

Rate & Review

(103 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Jim Burke’s cucumber soup with lime, garlic and ginger is light, refreshing and restorative; his kitchen staff jokes that it’s like a mini spa treatment. For extra substance, Burke adds salt-roasted shrimp, avocado and a hit of spicy chile oil.

Pairing Suggestion

Dry wines made from Muscat (more often used for sweet wines) have a delicate texture and the scent of tangerine blossoms, which amplifies the fresh flavors of this soup. Dry Muscats can be found in various European wine regions. From Spain, look for the fragrant 2006 Botani or the lightly citrusy 2006 Torres Viña Esmeralda, which includes a percentage of Gewürztraminer.
