Dominican shrimp Asopao
When cold winter days are here, there is nothing better than a good asopao to keep us warm. Asopao in Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico means a stew thickened with rice, some meat or pasta. My friend Luis Compres, prepares an excellent Dominican shrimp asopao. Today, I would like to share his recipe with all of you.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
3 oz vegetable oils
3 oz red onion
1 lb Dominican shrimps
1/2 ajà or red pepper
1/2 ajà or green pepper
2 oz celery
6 garlic cloves
2 tbs olives or cappers
2 oz paste tomato sauce
1 envelope of colouring
3 oz white wine
1/2 cup rice
32 oz water
Salt and pepper at taste
Preparation
Peel shrimps and boil peels with water.
When water is translucent or a bit white switch off the heat, drain water and remove peels. Leave liquid aside.
Heat 3 oz of oil on a pan over a medium heat. Add peppers, celery, onions, garlic and olives and stir.
Cook all ingredients 4-5 minutes over a medium-low heat and add the 3 oz of wine, salt and pepper, paste sauce and colouring.
Cook 5 minutes. Add the water where we cooked the shrimps and bring to boil.
Add rice and wait until the grain opens (10-12 minutes) to add shrimps. Cover and cook over a low heat 10 minutes or until the asopao is ready to serve.

Hola Denisse,
Felicidades por tu página de cocina. Es la primera vez que entro a ella, y mi pregunta es la siguiente:
Como se prepara el delicioso bizcocho de Puerto Rico que queda mojadito de piña, y lo más importante para mi, es el frosting que usan en las bakeries en la isla que se parece al marshmallow. Tengo una receta que dice que se debe usar Gluten, ¿dónde lo consigo?
Muchas gracias Denisse, espero recibir contesta a mi pregunta cuando pueda.
Muy agradecida,
Ada
Hola Ada,
Gracias por escribirme y por tus palabras tan bonitas.
la semana que viene incluiremos como receta de la semana el bizcocho estilo puertorriqueño, cortesÃa de mi amiga la repostera Ana Lourdes Marin.
Ella también es de la Isla y hace unos postres para morirse de lo ricos que son.
FÃjate que su receta no lleva gluten, que (por cierto) se consigue en tiendas especializas en productos de reposterÃa o por Internet.
Saludos,
Denisse
