Boil the shrimp with the water and half the salt for 4 minutes, then reserve the broth and peel the shrimp.
Tear the stale bread into large pieces, and finely chop the garlic and cilantro.
Cook the garlic in olive oil for 1 minute until lightly colored.
Add the shrimp broth, bread pieces, remaining salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Cook for 8 minutes, stirring, until the bread softens.
Beat the eggs, temper them with one ladle of soup, and pour them into the pot.
Add the shrimp and cilantro, warm for 3 minutes without boiling, and serve with lemon.
💡 Tip: Do not turn the bread completely into mush; a few larger pieces give acorda a better spoonable texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve acorda hot like a soup main course with cilantro, lemon wedges, and optional olives.
