5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 bouillon cube (preferably onion and garlic flavor)
1 kg medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 cup warm water

1 bouillon cube (preferably onion and garlic flavor)
1 kg medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Where to find ingredients
You can find most of these ingredients at any local grocery store or supermarket in the produce and seafood sections. Look for medium, shell-free shrimp in the frozen or fresh seafood counter. For the bouillon cube, check the soup and stock aisle; if you cannot find an onion-garlic variety, any vegetable or chicken bouillon cube will work as a substitute. Potatoes, onions, and fresh tomatoes are staples available in the produce section of any neighborhood market.
Preparation method
- Sauté the shrimp in a pan until they turn pink, then set them aside
- Dissolve the bouillon cube in the warm water and set aside
- Thinly slice the onions, potatoes, and tomatoes
- Grease a baking dish with a little oil or butter
- Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes across the bottom of the dish
- Layer the sliced tomatoes over the potatoes
- Distribute a layer of the sautéed shrimp over the tomatoes
- Top the shrimp with a layer of thinly sliced onions
- Repeat the layers in the same order until the dish is filled, finishing with a final layer of potatoes on top
- Pour the dissolved bouillon broth evenly over the entire dish
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden
