Peel the cassava, cut it into large pieces, and boil it in salted water for 25 minutes.
Mash the softened cassava and loosen it with some of the reserved hot cooking water until smooth.
Cook the tomatoes, onion, and pepper in the pot for 6 minutes.
Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes until they change color, without letting them toughen.
Add the cassava puree and coconut milk, then simmer for 10 minutes.
💡 Tip: Mash the cassava completely smooth so the shrimp blends better into the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the shrimp stew hot with white rice on the side.
