Shrimp with Okra (Caruru de camarão)


Serves: 6
Total Calories: 639

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 chopped onion
2 chopped green peppers
1 pound cleaned and deveined shrimp
hot sauce
1 chopped tomato (without skin and seeds)
1 1/2 cups sliced okra
1 coconut
coconut milk thickened with a little cream of rice
1/2 cup ground peanut
1/2 cup dendê oil with coconut milk, optional


Directions:

Heat heavy pan and melt butter. Fry onion and chopped green pepper. Add shrimp.

When cooked, add a dash of hot sauce, chopped tomato with skin and seeds removed and sliced okra, and coconut. Cook until okra is tender.

Add coconut milk thickened with a little cream of rice.

Fold in ground peanuts.

If dendê oil is available add with coconut milk, however, I believe it will be more pleasing to most American cooks to prepare this dish without the óleo de dendê.

Serve with Brazilian rice.
