1 tablespoon tomato paste 

4 cups chicken broth 

1 bay leaf 

1 sprig fresh rosemary 

1 sprig fresh thyme 

1 tablespoon fennel seeds 

2 teaspoons cayenne 

1 teaspoon celery seeds 

1/2 teaspoon paprika 

Kosher salt 

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 small lemon 

One 15-ounce can coconut milk 

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons 

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  1. Whisk the wine and tomato paste together in a medium saucepan to dissolve the paste. Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, fennel seeds, cayenne, celery seeds, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce the heat and simmer until slightly reduced and very flavorful, about 15 minutes.

I love the broth! It can’t be reheated with the shrimp, of course. My husband thought it was too tangy.
