‘Killer Shrimp’ is a fantastic tiny eatery in Marina Del Rey, California that only serves shrimp soup. This spicy herb soup is simple to make and has a good amount of broth, taste, and heat. There is no need for an elaborate presentation. Pour it out into large dishes to serve. Serve it with some crusty bread and let the bread absorb up the liquid instead of using spoons.

Reviews
Very good but too much Italian seasoning. I would use regular diced tomatoes instead of Italian diced tomatoes to help even it out a bit. I also used ground beef and ground pork instead of ground turkey, so it’s a versatile recipe that can be used for any meat. Loved it. Would definitely make it again with a bit less Italian seasoning!
I loved it! Very easy to prepare, and so healthy. I have a question for Cheryl. Maybe I missed something, but I couldn’t find where you add the two teaspoons of basil.
So pleasantly surprised! Very flavorful! Only small change was that I used a full 32oz jar of Rao’s tomato basil sauce and only one can of diced tomatoes. Will definitely make again.
Made exactly as written except I had some leftover mozzarella cheese pearls that I stuffed in the center of these meatballs. They turned out really well. Served with spaghetti and a Caesar salad. I think what sauce you use could make or break this (as with any similar recipe) so be sure and choose one you love. I used one I hadn’t tried before but next time I will use my favorite sauce and this will be my “go to” meatball recipe!
I served these as meatball subs and it was really good! I’d maybe use more seasonings to add more flavor, but it was pretty good overall!
Yum Yum,,, really loved these,, Had them on noodles as well as cauliflower rice
