WEST AFRICAN SHRIMP

My girls have always loved seafood, so I invented a shrimp dish with coconut milk and ginger. They raved; I was delighted. It's great with jasmine rice. -Sharon Scaletta, Johnstown, Pennsylvania

  • Place a good sized pot on the stove and heat up the oil. Fry the onions in the oil until they just begin to caramelize.
  • Chop the tomatoes into small chunks and place them into a blender or food processor. If using scotch bonnet pepper, you may add the desired amount to the blender. Pulse or liquidize the ingredients until smooth. Pour them over the caramelized onion mixture and allow the sauce to cook down and thicken. This should take 10 minutes, and the oil will begin to rise to the top. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
  • Prepare the okra by dicing. Quarter the okra pods, then chop them into ¼ inch thin slices. Set aside and move on to step 5.

  • In a sauce pan, heat oil, and simmer onions gently until lightly brown for 20 minutes on low heat (onions should not be caramelized, but only lightly golden brown).
  • While the onions are simmering, grind the garlic and ginger into a paste (I use a small mortar and pestle to make the ginger garlic paste, but feel free to use a food processor).
  • After the onions have simmered for 20 minutes, add the tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, and pepper, then simmer under low-medium heat covered for another 30 minutes. Stir the sauce lightly every 5 minutes to prevent the sauce from burning
