Shrimp Sauce
A rich, spicy Nigerian shrimp sauce simmered with smoked hake, dried prawns and aromatic spices — perfect with boiled yam, plantain or rice.
This Nigerian Shrimp Sauce is the kind of dish that turns a simple bowl of boiled yam or fried plantain into a feast. Plump shrimps are seasoned, flash-fried, then folded into a slow-cooked tomato and pepper base layered with smoked hake, dried prawns and warm spices. The result is a thick, savoury, slightly spicy sauce that tastes like it has been simmering all afternoon — but comes together in well under an hour.
