Where to find ingredients
Find fresh shrimp in the seafood section of local fish markets or large supermarkets. Dende oil (red palm oil) and coconut milk are typically found in the international or Caribbean aisle of major grocery stores. As a substitute for dende oil, you can use high-quality red palm oil, though the flavor profile is unique to the original ingredient.
Preparation method
- Begin by thoroughly cleaning the shrimp, removing shells and veins, and rinsing them under cold running water.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, lime juice, and chopped herbs, allowing them to marinate for a few minutes.
- Heat the soybean oil in a large pan and sauté the shrimp until they are nicely golden.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they break down, forming a rich, thick sauce.
- Pour in the coconut milk, cover the pan tightly, and let it simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Finish by stirring in the dende oil and adjusting the seasoning with more pepper to your preference before serving.
Observations
This dish is a fantastic choice for those looking to prepare a special, personality-filled lunch. The harmonious blend of creamy coconut milk and dende oil creates a velvety, flavorful sauce that is best enjoyed over a portion of light, fluffy steamed white rice.
