Ingredients
  • 600gr Shrimps (I cut the tails)
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 tbsp Sweet Paprika

  • 3 Fresh Tomatoes – Cubed finely
  • 4-6 Slices of fresh Lemon
  • ½ tsp Sugar
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Cilantro – Chopped
  • Optional For a Spicy Dish – 1 tbsp Hot Paprika
Instructions
  1. In a wide pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the Paprika and garlic and stir well for about 1 minute. Stir consistently to avoid burning the garlic.

  3. Add the water, sugar, cumin and lemon, mix and let boil.
  4. Once boiled, lower heat and add the shrimps and chopped cilantro.
  5. Let cook over low heat for about 30 minutes. Serve with a large piece of bread or over white rice.
