Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of purified water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Stir in 1 cup of bonito flakes and the shrimp shells, tails, and heads. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the stock and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add 1 diced sweet onion, 1 diced vine-ripened tomato, and 1 chopped bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Add the cleaned wild Argentinian shrimp and cook for about 1 minute on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and set aside.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sofrito, 1 tablespoon of sazon, 2 bay leaves, and a pinch of salt with 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Then stir in 1 cup of jasmine rice.
- Pour in the shrimp stock and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is al dente.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the pot and stir gently. Let simmer for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with diced cilantro, a lime wedge, and sliced avocado. Serve hot.
