Moqueca (Authentic Brazilian Seafood Stew Recipe)

To make this moqueca recipe, season both the fish fillets and the shrimp with 2 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and cumin

Heat a large pot, cast iron skillet, or a no-stick pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon 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

Transfer cooked veggies to a blender and add coconut milk, fish stock or broth, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside!

Using the same pan, add 1 more tablespoon of oil if needed, and cook fish fillets for about 2-3 minutes

Flip fish. Pour blended mixture over the fish fillets and stir in palm oil and the chili red peppers. Bring to a boil

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

Remove from the heat, stir in the lime juice and then the fresh cilantro. Serve warm with white rice and farofa. Enjoy!
