Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined (keep the shells)
4 lbs cassava, peeled and quartered (can be Goya frozen cassava, makes no difference)
6 tomatoes, peeled, de-seeded and chopped
1/2 cup of chives and fresh parsley leaves, chopped
3 onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
salt
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup milk
1/2 cup palm tree oil, less if you have never tried it
olive oil

Steps:

  • Marinate the shrimp in salt, lime, pepper and some cilantro for 2 hours.
  • Cook the cassava in salted water, the shrimp shells, 1 onion, a bay leaf, to cover in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat for 30 minutes, until fork tender.
  • When done, puree ½ of the cassava in a blender or food processor, adding the coconut milk and 1 cup milk to get a smooth paste. Set aside.
  • Cut the other ½ of the cassava in cubes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 3 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, red bell pepper, and cook another 8 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and wait until they are cooked through (don't overcook). Add chives and parsley, season with salt.
  • Stir in the pureed and cubed cassava, cook stirring until the mixture is hot.
  • Taste and add more salt if necessary. Finally, stir in chopped cilantro and dende oil.
  • Add Tabasco or other hot sauce (we use malagueta pepper, might be too hot).
  • Remove from the heat, and serve hot with white rice.
