Description
Shrimp in Coconut Milk
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
-
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
-
2 bay leaves
-
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
-
1/4 cup vegetable oil
-
1 large onion, finely chopped
-
3 scallions, finely chopped
-
1 teaspoon coarse salt
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
3 cloves garlic, crushed
-
3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
-
2 teaspoons Aji
-
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
-
Juice of 6 limes

Instructions
Place the shrimp shells in a saucepan, along with the thyme, bay leaves and peppercorns. Add 3 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by a third, about 30 minutes. Strain the liquid (you should have about 1 cup) and discard the shells.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the onion, scallions, salt and pepper and saute until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, aji and reserved shrimp stock and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, shrimp, lime juice and peas, and cook until the shrimp are pink and just cooked, turning the shrimp once as they cook, about 3 minutes. Serve over white rice.
