Açorda de Marisco

Dinner decisions, handled: Açorda de Marisco pairs shrimp with day-old bread for a 40-minute Portuguese dinner. The macros do the talking: 28g protein, 38g carbs, and 16g fat in every 420-calorie serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp
• 1/2 lb Day-old bread
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Cilantro
• 1/2 cup Olive oil
• 4 Eggs
• 4 cups Fish stock
• 1 Lemon

Steps

1. Pound the garlic, cilantro, and salt into a rough paste — the açorda base.
2. Fry the paste in olive oil 2 minutes until intensely fragrant.
3. Add the torn bread and stock; simmer 10 minutes, mashing, until it thickens into a porridge.
4. Poach the shrimp in the porridge 4 minutes until just pink.
5. Crack the eggs over the top, cover, and cook 3 minutes until the whites set but yolks stay runny.
6. Serve immediately with lemon; the bread should be silky, the eggs still flowing.
