Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let cool in the broth for 15–20 minutes. If you have fresh shrimp, boil them in boiling water for 3–4 minutes.

    Cut off the crusts from white bread (you can use a baguette). Cut the bread into small cubes, 1-2 cm in size. Fry in a small amount of olive or vegetable oil. Optionally, you can add a bit of garlic, salt, or aromatic herbs to make the croutons more flavorful.
