Where to find ingredients
Shrimp and fresh produce can be found at local fish markets and supermarkets. Dende oil (palm oil) and coconut milk are available at specialty Latin or Caribbean food stores; as a substitute for dende oil, one might use annatto-infused oil for color, though the unique flavor profile will be altered.
Preparation method
- Begin by thoroughly cleaning the shrimp, removing the shells and veins, and rinsing them under cold running water.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and fresh herbs, allowing them to marinate for a few minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large 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, full-bodied 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 an excellent choice for anyone looking for a special lunch full of personality. The combination of coconut milk and dende oil creates a rich, creamy sauce, perfect for serving alongside fluffy white rice.
