Where to find ingredients
Shrimp are widely available in the seafood section of most supermarkets and fish markets. Tomatoes and fresh herbs can be found in the produce section of any grocery store. Lime juice can be made from fresh limes, typically found in the produce section. Soybean oil and coconut milk are common pantry staples found in the cooking oil and international aisles of most supermarkets. Palm oil (azeite de dendê) is a key ingredient in Bahian cuisine and can usually be found in Latin American or international food markets, often in the ethnic or imported foods section of larger supermarkets, or at specialty online retailers.

- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, lime juice, and fresh herbs, letting it marinate for a few minutes
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the shrimp until well browned
