Classic Ecuadorian Slow-Cooked Shrimp Skillet

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, flour, paprika, olive oil, salt, bell pepper, garlic.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the shrimp and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Ecuadorian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Ecuadorian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
