- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 3 hours.
- In a food processor, puree the corn with the milk.
- Pour the puree through a coarse strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Heat the Annatto Oil in a large sauce-pan or enameled cast-iron casserole.
- Add the remaining garlic, onion, bell pepper and cumin and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes longer.
- Add the corn milk, stock, plantain, cilantro and cayenne and bring to a boil.
- Simmer over moderately low heat until very flavorful, about 20 minutes.
- Pour the soup through a coarse strainer.
- Working in batches, puree the vegetables in a blender.
- Return the puree and the strained broth to the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Add the shrimp and its marinade and cook over moderate heat until the shrimp are just opaque throughout, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and serve in warmed soup plates or bowls with the Tangy Corn Salsa.
