Enchilado De Camerones (Cuban Shrimp Stew)
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tomatoes diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup dark beer
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt and ground black pepper
- In a bowl or Tupperware, combine the shrimp, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin with salt and pepper. Mix well and let sit for an hour in the refrigerator.
- While the shrimp is marinating, heat the oil on medium heat.
- Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and the rest of the cumin.
- Cook until the onions soften, then raise the heat to high and stir in the tomato paste and tomatoes.
- Cook for a minute to let the tomato paste and tomatoes mix. Then, stir in the wine or beer and bayleaf. (I went with dark beer.) Bring to a boil and let the sauce reduce and thicken a bit.
- Stir in the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp is firm and pink and the sauce is richly flavored.
- If the sauce is too dry, add a little more wine or beer. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season with salt, black pepper, and more cumin, if desired. Sprinkle the cilantro or parsley on top.
