Where to find ingredients
Shrimp can be found in the seafood section of most supermarkets or at fish markets. Canned coconut milk is usually available in the international foods aisle of large supermarkets. Fresh tomatoes, lime, and fresh herbs are widely available in the produce section of any supermarket or at local markets. Soybean oil is a common cooking oil found in most supermarkets. Palm oil can be found in specialty African or Latin American food stores, or sometimes in the international aisle of larger supermarkets. If palm oil is unavailable, you can substitute with a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil, though the authentic flavor will be altered.
Preparation method
- Start by cleaning the shrimp well, removing shells and veins, and wash them under running water
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, lime juice, and fresh herbs, letting them marinate for a few minutes
- Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the shrimp until they are well browned
- 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 let the flavors develop
- Finish by incorporating the palm oil and adjust the pepper according to your preference before serving
