Spicy Shrimp in Coconut Sauce image

This is a Brazilian favorite from the state of Bahia. If you can't find dende oil, a Brazilian staple palm oil, you can substitute annato or peanut oil, but the flavor won't be quite as authentic. Still delicious, though, this dish is a flavorful stir fry addition to your menu.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking, so I added some cornstarch to thicken it up.

I used large shrimp for this recipe and they were a bit overcooked. I would recommend using smaller shrimp or cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

I wasn't sure about the combination of coconut and shrimp, but it turned out to be a delicious and unique dish.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but adding some yogurt helped to tone it down.

I love spicy food, so I added an extra jalapeƱo to the sauce. It turned out perfectly!
