Instructions
- 1
Make shrimp stock: Boil the shrimp shells in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve the intensely flavored stock.
- 2
Hydrate the bread: Tear the bread rolls into chunks and soak them in the coconut milk until completely softened.
- 3
Blend the base: In a blender, combine the soaked bread, peanuts, cashews, onion, a piece of ginger, and the shrimp stock. Blend until it becomes a completely smooth paste.
- 4
Cook the paste: Pour the blended mixture into a large pot. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens significantly (about 15-20 mins).
- 5
Add color and flavor: Stir in the dendê oil to give the stew its characteristic bright orange color and earthy flavor.
- 6
Cook the shrimp: Add the raw peeled shrimp to the bubbling thick sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes just until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Serve immediately over rice.
