Directions

In a frying pan with some olive oil, sauté the onion, garlic and bay leaf.
Stir and cook over medium high heat.
Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl.
Season with a little salt and pepper and beat well with a fork.
Finally, add the chopped parsley and stir a little.
When the onion and garlic are sautéed, add the shrimp and cook over high heat for about 1 minute.
Once the shrimp is sauteed, remove the bay leaf, add the potato sticks and mix well.
Remove from the heat and add the eggs immediately.
Mix everything very well until the eggs cook from the heat of the hot skillet.
After the eggs are cooked, serve with the olives.

Recipe Tips

•

When cooking the onions and garlic, make sure to sauté them until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized, which enhances their flavor and sweetness. Avoid burning the garlic as it can turn bitter.

•

For added richness, consider whisking in a splash of heavy cream or milk to the eggs before adding them to the shrimp mixture. This will create a creamier texture in the final dish.

•

Be cautious with the amount of salt you add, as both the shrimp and olives can be quite salty. Taste the mixture before seasoning, and remember that you can always add more salt later if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute fresh shrimp with frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them thoroughly under cold running water or overnight in the refrigerator before using to ensure even cooking.

How should I store leftovers of Camarão à Brás?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or olive oil to prevent drying.

What can I use instead of fried potato sticks if I can't find batata palha?

If you can't find batata palha, you can substitute it with regular French fries, homemade potato chips, or even thinly sliced and baked potatoes for a healthier option. Just make sure they are crispy to add the same texture.
