Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Saute onions, garlic and tomatoes in oil, in a clay pan if possible ( /photos/original/15240632.jpg). When onions are golden—about 15 minutes—add deveined and cleaned shrimp, and wait until it gets “red”—about 15 more minutes. About 5 minutes after you added the shrimp, add coconut milk and paprika. Before serving, mix in cilantro and chives.
  2. Pirao: 700ml water; 1 onion, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, mashed with salt; pepper & salt to taste; reserved shrimp shells; dash of colorau *; 1 cup manioc flour. In a pan with lid, boil all the ingredients for about 15 minutes. Drain. Put liquid back in pan; when it boils turn to a simmer. SLOWLY add manioc flour, stirring constantly (as for polenta). It is ready when it starts thickening. (It doesn’t harden, but turns kinda gooey.).
  3. * We actually use “colorau” (made mainly from “urucum” seeds); instead of paprika, a better substitute in my view is annatto seeds ( .br/overblog/nosso-colorau-o-urucum). Saute annatto seeds in the dende oil, being VERY careful not to bun them; remove seeds and use the oil.
