SHRIMP ROTI RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel and clean the shrimp, reserving shells. Put the shrimp in a bowl and mix in the lime juice and chopped coriander stems (or shadowbene). Set aside for at least 1/2 hour.
• Meanwhile, place the reserved shrimp shells in a large stockpot and cover with a quart of water. Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour. Strain and reserve.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil or ghee over medium high heat and saute the onions, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they begin to stick to the pan and turn light brown. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the curry powder and stir for 1 minute, taking care not to burn the spice. Add the chopped potatoes, stirring to coat with the curry-onion-garlic mixture.
• Add the Scotch bonnet pepper and 2 cups of the shrimp stock. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover, and simmer slowly for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the potatoes soften and begin to thicken the sauce. (If the mixture becomes too dry, add additional shrimp stock.)
• Add the marinated shrimps. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add salt to taste. Let cool a few minutes before adding to roti.

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the oil and water while mixing and kneading the dough, Set the dough aside for 15 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal-sized balls. Flatten each slightly and roll out into 8 inch squares.
• Fill the middle of each square with about 1/2 cup of filling mixture. Wrap the dough around the mixture to seal the filling inside.
• To cook the roti, place the butter in a skillet over high heat until it sizzles. Reduce the heat to medium and place the rotis in the pan.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the crust is light brown. Turn with a wide spatula and continue cooking. Repeat the process with the remaining rotis. Serve immediately.
• SWEET POTATO FILLING: Place the butter, garlic, and onion in a deep skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add the potato, water, curry powder, hot sauce, and salt and cook for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft but not mushy. Add the chickpeas and cook another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set the filling aside.
• CHICKEN FILLING: Place the butter, garlic, onion and pepper in a deep skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add the curry powder, hot sauce, coriander, and salt and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin and water and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken and simmer for another 5 minutes. Set aside.
