Chilled shrimp, cucumber and yoghurt soup ...

Sometimes it is too hot to be in the kitchen.

Chefs last knew where food and meals, prepared either early in the day when temperatures were cooler or foods that require very little planned served in the type of stove or in the oven.

I'm trying to follow this philosophy to me, because I live in South America, we find summer days with the air temperature at 100 degrees or more.

I also try to find themselves food are cool and refreshing.

My ice shrimp, cucumber and yoghurt soup fit the bill. Steamed shrimp requires the stove to in less than 10 minutes, and you can always keep steam earlier in the day and in the fridge - was used in this way - in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the rest of the shell.

And then there are the other components: two cucumbers and yogurt have a real coo effect. If you add all the components, a rich filling meal with little effort you can have some of the sting of the summer.

A few things to note: You can use any pickles you want, but I prefer the English cucumbers. The taste is a little sweeter and a true taste of cucumber. Also, since you have the cucumber because of the sometimes bitter taste and hard texture of seed, they can spread, it is easier for the English series of very small seeds.

In addition, you can use any type of yogurt you prefer to use, but I like the Greek style. Greek yogurt is once or twice more than normal yogurt curious what in a decade, creamy texture. Also, because there is less liquid, the taste and robust features Hazel added.

In terms of shrimp. On the way you can best roast for you and which components of the taste, but be careful not to hot liquid

Remember, though, that the other components - cucumber and yogurt - (. Albeit a little law could have) are softer, and a touch of Cajun seasoning can also

For this recipe, that's what I would do:

In a large pot, I poured a glass of white wine and half a glass of water. I halve a lemon, I'll adjust and the fruit. I peel and crush three cloves of garlic and throw them in. Sometimes I'll also add a few peppercorns.

I turn the heat on medium heat and get the liquid to a boil, add the shrimp and put them at the top. I dampen for 3-5 minutes; Shrimp should turn pink and firm. Once cooked, I use once a strainer to the shrimp and stuffed into a large bowl of ice water to remove to stop cooking.

Then let the shrimp, dry, cool and refrigerate until serving time. Me skin steam then removed prior to use. Keep these bowls promotions!

Another tip: buy shrimp for free in a fish market or grocery store and usually steam.

May I suggest?

This is a brunch, lunch or light plate. For a robust meal, a small garden salad with a bright citrus vinaigrette. Some grilled asparagus or steamed, chilled and drizzled with a little olive oil and lemon juice, it would also be good. Serve crusty bread and butter rich pages.

White wine is the way to go with this dish; do something light and crisp. I like Vinho Verde, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling semi dry with the soup. A red wine with this dish would be overwhelming, but a rose "would be a wonderfu option.

In the spirit of yogurt that you can pair it with a Greek myth beer or Aris.

Keep it for sustainable

Note, is kind of seafood you buy is very important; make sure it is a "best choice" or "good alternative" in terms of sustainability. The Seafood Watch program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium provides guidelines for procurement, including shrimp.
