Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until they are pink and opaque, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Add the chopped bok choy, julienned carrots, and sliced red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked shrimp and low-sodium soy sauce, letting the soup return to a gentle simmer. Season with black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
