Steps

  1. Prep first: dice the onion and green bell pepper, mince the jalapeño and garlic, cube the red potatoes, chop the cilantro, and pat the shrimp dry; keep the shrimp in the fridge until step 6. Leave the frozen corn kernels in the freezer until step 5.
  2. Heat the canola oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and green bell pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes.
  3. Add the jalapeño, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and dried oregano and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and the chicken broth, then add the red potatoes and half of the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk and the frozen corn kernels (no need to thaw) and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until the corn is hot and the broth is slightly thickened.
  6. Season the shrimp with the remaining half of the salt, add them to the pot, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until pink and opaque.
  7. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Ladle into bowls and top with the cilantro.
