Prep Time30 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time1 hr
Ingredients
 2 Olive oil
 2 Onion
 1 Red bell pepper
 400 Tomato pulp
 200 Boiling water
 1 Vegetable broth
 200 Coconut milk
 500 Raw, unpeeled shrimp
 Salt
 Pepper
 1 Lime
 1 Coriander (or chives)
Directions
1

Peel the shrimp.

2

Peel and chop the onions. Wash and seed the bell pepper and cut it into small cubes. Squeeze the lime to extract the juice.

3

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions and sweat for about 2 minutes.

4

Add the bell pepper, tomato pulp, boiling water, vegetable bouillon cube, and spices. Mix well and let simmer over medium heat, covered, for 15 minutes.

5

Add the coconut milk, shrimp, salt, and pepper. Mix and cook for another 10 minutes. I left it uncovered this time so that the juice would reduce a little.

6

Add the lemon juice and coriander (chives for me) and mix. It's ready!

7

To finish, serve hot with plain rice.
