3 celery stalks, chopped
2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen)
1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 tbsp. basil . chopped
2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped

Meanwhile, boil shrimp. It is important not to overcook prawns, although they need to be properly cooked at the same time. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil, add prawns or shrimp and salt. Reduce heat and simmer prawns or shrimp for 3 - 6 minutes, depending on the size. The prawns or shrimp will be cooked when they float to the top and the flesh has turned orange-pink in color. Remove prawns or shrimp from the heat immediately and run them under cold water for a few seconds to stop the cooking process.
Remove soup from the heat and puree using blender or food processor. Ladle soup into bowls. Whole prawns go on top. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
