## Ingredients:

- ** 200 g of dry shrimp **
- ** 1 pack of jambu **
- ** 2 chopped garlic cloves **
- ** Smelling pepper to taste (optional) **
- ** salt to taste **

## PREPARATION MODE:

### Preparing Jambu:

1. ** Cleaning **: Start by cleaning the jambu.Wash the leaves and stalks in running water to remove possible land residues or impurities.
2. ** Cooking **: In a large pan, bring water to the fire until it begins to boil.Add some salt and then put the jambu.Let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves are soft.Do not cook too much so as not to lose the crispy texture.
3. ** Drain and set aside **: Remove the jambu from the water and set aside.If desired, it can give a thermal shock in cold water to interrupt cooking and keep the color vibrant.

### Preparing Tucupi:

1. ** Boil the tucupi **: In a pan, bring the tucupi to the fire.Add the chopped garlic cloves and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes so that the garlic flavor is unfounded in the tucupi and it loses its initial toxicity (the raw tucupi may be toxic).
2. ** Season **: Add salt to taste and smell pepper if you want to give a more spicy touch.

### Preparing the shrimp:

1. ** Desalt the shrimp **: Leave the shrimps soak in water for about 1 hour, changing the water a few times to desalt.
2. ** Cook the shrimp **: Drain the prawns and add them to the boiling tucupi.Let it cook for about 5 minutes.This is enough for the prawns to be cooked and tasty.

### Assembly:

1. ** Serve **: Now it's time to assemble your tacaca.In a gourd, put a portion of jambu in the background, add the boiled prawns and, finally, pour the hot tucupi.
2. ** Finish **: Serve immediately, ensuring that the tucupi is very hot for an authentic experience.

## Tips:

- ** Beware of Tucupi **: Tucupi should always be well cooked before being consumed due to its natural properties that can be harmful if raw consumed.
- ** Pepper Adjustment **: The amount of pepper can be adjusted according to your child preference.
- ** Shrimp **: Be sure to always desalt the prawns well so that they are not overly salty.
