Arroz com Camarão (Rice with Prawns) a Classic Brazilian recipe for a dish of cooked rice blended with a stew of prawns (shrimp) in a tomato and herb base.

Ingredients:

1kg prawns (unpeeled)
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp coriander (cilantro) leaves, chopped
1 dessert spoon, chives
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp oil
200g tomatoes, chopped
250ml water
500g cooked rice (still hot)

Method:

Bring a pan of water to a boil, add the salt, coriander and chives then plunge in the prawns and cook for about 3 minutes, or until pink. Drain and peel as soon as they are sufficiently cool to be handled.

Combine the onion, oil, tomatoes and water in a pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have begun to break down.
