Chopped onions
Minced garlic
Water
Bay leaf
Chopped fresh chili peppers

Fine-grained cornmeal
Chop
the shrimp in a food processor or electric blender.
Bone
and skin the fish. Discard the skin. Reserve the bones for step 3. Cut the fish
into 2 1/2 centimeter (1 inch) cubes and reserve them for step 8.
Add
the shrimp, coconut milk, and fish bones to a thick-bottomed 1 1/2 to 2 liter (1 1/2 to 2 quart)
saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer the
mixture for 30 minutes, stirring now and then.
Heat
the oil in a thick-bottomed 2 to 3 liter (1 to 3 quart) saucepan over low to moderate heat.
Sauté the onions for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and sauté
this mixture for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Stir
4 deciliters (1 3/4 cups) of the water into the onion-garlic mixture. Stir in the bay leaf,
chili peppers, salt, and peanuts. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook it for
10 minutes.
Discard
the bay leaf from the onion-garlic preparation. Strain into this preparation the
shrimp coconut mixture. Simmer the combination for 5 minutes.
Soak
the cornmeal in the remaining 6 centiliters or 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes. Slowly stir the moist
cornmeal into the pot. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add
the fish cubes to the pot. Thoroughly submerge them and gently cook the
preparation over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally and very
gently. Serve the Vatapa immediately.
