Where to find ingredients
You can find shrimp, tomatoes, and coconut milk at local wet markets or grocery stores. Dende oil is a specialty ingredient; if unavailable, a blend of red palm oil can be used as a substitute, though the original dende oil provides the authentic flavor.
Preparation method
- Start by cleaning the shrimp thoroughly, removing shells and veins, and rinsing them under cold running water
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and fresh herbs, letting it marinate for a few minutes
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the shrimp until they are golden brown
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they break down, creating a thick sauce
- Pour in the coconut milk, cover the pan tightly, and let it cook over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld
- Finish by stirring in the dende oil and adjust the pepper to your preference before serving
Observations
This dish is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a special lunch full of personality. The combination of coconut milk and dende oil creates a rich sauce, perfect for serving alongside fluffy white rice.
