Shrimp Stew - Video

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, mashed
• 1 large tomato, peeled and chopped
• Cleaned and washed shrimp or prawns
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon tomato paste
• A pinch of salt
• Fresh grated ginger

Method

1. Place the vegetable oil in a pot over heat. Add the chopped onion, then the mashed garlic.
2. Add the peeled, chopped red tomato as well.
3. Add the shrimp with the tails removed and washed well. Add the water too, but it is best not to add too much water because the tomato and shrimp will release some liquid, and you will end up with a sauce made from all the ingredients.
4. Add the tomato paste with a pinch of salt and mix well. After several minutes, add the freshly grated ginger.
5. Just before turning off the heat, sprinkle a little fresh chopped cilantro.
6. Serve the shrimp stew alongside white rice.
