Classic Malawian Simmered Shrimp Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, paprika, lemon juice, carrot, yogurt, potato, salt.

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

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