Tonight I am having one of my favorite Malagasy Food. It is shrimp with leaves of a local plant called mafana (hot) and plant from patata. The shrimp is very expensive now at $3 a pound so we bought 4 pounds of shrimp and the plants are about one dollar. I cook up the skin and heads for a broth with the plants and the shrimp is included in the broth and the skins and heads are discarded.
This will feed a family of four for dinner and have left overs for lunch the next day.
If you don't have shrimp you can use fish or beef...
