1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (I used 21-25's) sliced in half lengthwise*
1/2 of a lemon sliced
About 5 cups water
1 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1 large ripe tomato,seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 heaping tablespoons of prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
24 ounces vegetable or tomato juice
2 teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce
Salt for seasoning if you feel you need it
Minced chives for garnish (and maybe a chive flower or two)

1
In a medium sauce pan, bring the water and lemon slices to a boil. Add the shrimp and when the liquid just starts to come back to a boil, turn the heat off and cover the pan. Let rest for a minute or two and then drain the shrimp and rinse with cold water. Transfer them to a bowl, cool and then chill for a couple of hours.
2
For the soup, place the onion, bell pepper, garlic, tomato, lemon juice, horseradish, tomato or vegetable juice, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. Chill for at least 2 hours.
3
When ready to serve, divide the shrimp among 4 small soup bowls. Ladle 1/4 of the soup over each bowl and garnish with minced chives.

* I think chunks of lobster, king crab meat and even crawfish tail meat would be terrific as an alternative to the shrimp!
