Hearty Vanuatuan Slow-Cooked Shrimp Salad

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, carrot, bay leaf, cinnamon, parsley, garlic, coriander.

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

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