Instructions

  1. Combine the lime juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin in a bowl. Mix well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Marinate covered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. Heat the neutral oil in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, peppers, and celery for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add cilantro, chile powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and bay leaf into the pot. Stir until well blended. Cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add tomato paste into the mixture and cook for one more minute.
  5. Pour in the apple vinegar and water. Mix well. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened while stirring frequently.
  6. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
  7. Stir in the undrained marinated shrimp into the stew mixture. Simmer for another 5-6 minutes until shrimp turn pink while stirring occasionally.
  8. Discard bay leaves from the stew. Stir in Worcestershire sauce before ladling into serving bowls over cooked white rice. Garnish with slices of jalapeno pepper or more chopped cilantro if desired.
