Preparation
- Step 1
Rinse the shrimp, remove the shells and reserve the meat and shells separately. Put the tomatoes in a pan and season with the cloves, paprika, salt, black and cayenne peppers and Worcestershire sauce. Add the shrimp shells. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover the pan and simmer 15 minutes. Press the liquid through a strainer and reserve.
- Step 2
Chop the green peppers, celery and onions. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute the peppers, onions and garlic about five minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook 10 minutes more, or until the mixture is slightly thick.
- Step 3
In a separate pan, saute the shrimp quickly in the butter, two to three minutes only. Add the shrimp to the tomato sauce, add the sliced lime and simmer two to three minutes more. Serve the shrimp with rice or fried plantains.
