Authentic Paraguayan Simmered Shrimp Soup

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, butter, stock, potato, water, onion, paprika.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the shrimp and cook until simmered.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Paraguayan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Paraguayan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
