Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp dendê oil (red palm oil — authentic Brazilian flavor driver)

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tomatoes, diced

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp cayenne (adjust to spice tolerance)

• 1 tsp sea salt

• Freshly ground black pepper

• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

• Juice of 1 lime

• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Prep Phase (Stage-Gate: Flavor Foundation)

Fire up your Platinum Large Skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and dendê oil—allow the oils to synergize for 1 minute until aromatic.

2. Sauté Stage

Deploy onions and garlic into the skillet—sweat them until translucent. Layer in peppers and tomatoes; cook down for 4–5 minutes until the mix reaches a rich, saucy consistency.

3. Flavor Integration

Season with paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir with strategic consistency to distribute seasoning evenly.

4. Liquids & Protein Synchronization

Pour in the coconut milk and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a controlled simmer.
Introduce the shrimp and cook 3–5 minutes, turning once, until they achieve that perfect coral tone—no overcooking.

5. Finishing Touch

Top with fresh cilantro just before serving. The skillet’s even heat will maintain warmth without scorching the herbs.
