Shrimp in Coconut Sauce from Brazil
Serves 6
From Brazil's tropical seaside state of Bahia, this rich coconut seafood
dish is typical of the region.
You will need:
2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined, tails left on
3 garlic cloves, minced
Juice of 1lime
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Canola Oil
1 small onion, minced
6 scallions, white and light green parts, minced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, minced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, minced
6 plum tomatoes, minced
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 habanero chile, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon minced cilantro leaves and stems
Lime wedges for serving
1. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic, lime juice and 1
teaspoon of salt. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat the Canola Oil until shimmering. Add the onion,
scallions and red and green bell peppers and cook over moderately high
heat, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced tomatoes
and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to
moderately low and add the tomato sauce, coconut milk, chile and 1
teaspoon of salt. Simmer until the sauce is reduced by one-fourth, about
10 minutes. Increase the heat to moderately high. Add the shrimp and
cook, stirring, until they're pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer
to a serving dish and discard the chile. Sprinkle with the cilantro and
serve with lime wedges.
