Instructions how to cook Brazilian shrimp stew recipe:
1. To make the moqueca recipe, season both the fish fillets and the shrimp with 2 tsp salt, pepper to taste, and cumin.
2. Heat a large pot, cast iron skillet, or a no-stick pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of oil and cook the chopped onion and bell peppers for about 3 minutes. Then, cook the garlic and chopped tomatoes for about 2 minutes.
3. Transfer cooked veggies to a blender and add coconut milk, fish stock or broth, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside!
4. Using the same pan, add 1 more tbsp of oil if needed, and cook fish fillets for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip fish. Pour blended mixture over the fish fillets and stir in palm oil and the chili red peppers. Bring to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let cook for about 2 minutes. Toss shrimp and the reserved slices of bell peppers and tomatoes and let cook over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes.

This looks real tasty. Where can I buy red palm oil?

[@sk6424]

Google African store near me. All African stores carry it, it's the base of most West African soups and this stew is very west african

Sorry I don't understand your comment.

[@djchanman]

For Moqueca! So many better choices for fish like cod or halibut. I would steer clear of this bottom feeder tilapia which is 🗑

[@EasyandDelish]

I am sorry David! But tilapia must be garbage in your own opinion only. In Brazil we use different types of fish to make moqueca including tilapia, depending on the eater’s preferences and also fish availability and affordability .The only fish we don’t use is salmon because it would overpower the stew. Use whatever you prefer in yours but it is not correct to say tilapia is garbage.
