Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local markets such as those in Kariakoo or supermarkets like Shoprite and Quality Centre. Look for fresh shrimp in the seafood aisle or at a local fishmonger. Catupiry (a specific Brazilian brand of creamy cheese) can be found in specialized gourmet shops; as a substitute, you can use any high-quality, thick, plain cream cheese.
