Brazil: Moqueca do Frutos del Mar (Seafood Stew)

The original recipe from my copy of The South American Table cook book was made to serve 8 and contained 4 lobster tails, 16 large shrimp, 1-1/2 lbs. of white fish and a pound of mussels. That was WAY out of my budget this week (I normally would never pass up the chance to have lobster) but I still really wanted to make this recipe to serve after having a light snack of my Shrimp Empanadas, staying with the Brazilian theme. I was able to pare the recipe down to 4 servings pretty easily and in my freezer was a pound of bay scallops, a couple pieces of flounder, and ½ lb. of medium shrimp. The first ½ lb of shrimp went into the empanadas so that worked out quite nicely. I was pleasantly surprised that the flavor of the coconut milk didn’t dominate this stew. Instead each ingredient seemed to compliment and even enhance the others. There aren’t any words to describe how wonderful this was even though it was sans lobster. I do hope you will give this a try. It’s very versatile, hearty but not heavy and very easy to make. This is a great variation on clam or seafood chowder.

  1. Directions
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic and cook, stirring a few times, for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cilantro, coconut milk, and hot pepper sauce taste, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside. The sauce can be prepared the day before, cooled and refrigerated.
  3. In another large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring until the shrimp just turn pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the bay scallops to the pan and cook, stirring until the scallops are just cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the shrimp. Lightly dredge pieces of white fish in flour, tapping off any excess, and cook on both sides for a couple of minutes until lightly colored. Add the shrimp, scallops and sauce to the pan with the fish. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. If the stew becomes too thick, thin it with a little seafood stock or clam juice. There should be enough sauce to just coat the seafood: this is not a soupy stew. Taste and re-season with salt and pepper if desired.
