Where to find ingredients
Find fresh shrimp at local fish markets or grocery stores. Dende oil can be found in specialty ethnic grocery stores or online retailers. If unavailable, there is no direct substitute that mimics its unique flavor profile, but sustainable red palm oil is the product used.
Preparation method
- Start by cleaning the shrimp well, removing shells and veins, and rinse them under running water.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and green 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 full-bodied 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 incorporating the dende oil and adjusting the pepper to your preference before serving.
Observations
This dish is an excellent choice for those seeking a special lunch full of personality. The combination of coconut milk and dende oil creates a rich sauce that is perfect when served alongside fluffy white rice.
