Ingredients for 4 servings

1 Kg of shrimp
1 large ripe tomato
1 head of garlic
1/2 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of salt
1 pinch of black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 sprig of thyme (or 2 according to your taste)
4 tbsp of oil
Chopped parsley
2 tbsp of flour
50 g of butter

Step-by-step directions

1- Remove the heads of the shrimp and wash them well

2- Melt the butter in a pan, dust the shrimp with flour and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes.

3- In the meantime prepare your sauce made of garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper and the bouquet garni. Put this mixture in a pot, add the oil and the peeled tomato cut into small cubes. Sauté for a few minutes then cover with 1/2 liter of water and bring to a boil.

4- Add the shrimp and let simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. (Note: you can add 1 tsp of canned tomato, and this always according to your taste, when you taste your sauce once ready and if you notice it needs a bit of acidity).

5- Arrange on a plate, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon quarters.
