Shrimp Gboma

Ingredients

  • 600 g fresh spinach, sorted
  • 500 g raw peeled shrimp
  • 400 g tomatoes
  • 150 g onion
  • 10 g garlic
  • 25 g olive oil
  • 300 ml water
  • 4 g salt

Preparation

Prepare the ingredients indicated by edible weight. Mince the onion, chop the garlic, and cut the tomatoes.

Sauté the onion in the oil for 5 minutes over moderate heat. Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chili, then cook for another 5 minutes.

This version uses spinach as a domestic substitute for leafy greens called gboma. Wash and drain them; do not confuse them with cassava leaves.

Pour in the water and add the spinach. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the peeled shrimp and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until opaque and fully cooked to 63 °C.

Add the salt and reduce uncovered if necessary. Serve hot; accompaniments are counted separately.
