If you want to get right to the real directions, just start where the paragraph says "Cut the shrimp in half..." and go from there. The rest of it is interesting but not vital to the recipe unless you are unfamiliar with some of the ingredients (but most of these ingredients are pretty common in larger grocery stores these days). The recipe itself is actually very simple with only a couple of steps and the soup is amazing!
