Family Ukrainian Simmered Shrimp Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, olive oil, cinnamon, tomato, butter, potato, carrot.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the shrimp and cook until simmered.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
