This impressive and easy Brazilian Seafood Stew can use any fish you have on hand or is flavored with coconut milk or fresh ingredients.

We love it when we manage to create a fish dish that has a pop of flavor that everyone enjoys. Fish is such a versatile ingredient, and this recipe helps show yet another way it can be used to add variety to your diet. Coconut milk, peppers, and onion give this stew an authentic Latin-American flair, while the fish adds the perfect punch of protein. This dish is light, yet creamy, and has just the right amount of spice. It’s very simple to make, with just a few ingredients, and is a nice change from most coconut-based recipes.

This stew has such big flavor yet comes together so quickly that it’s almost too good to be true.

Can I use a combination of fish or seafood?

Sure, you can choose one or use a combination of fish and seafood in this recipe. Basically, whatever fish you have on hand.

Can I substitute a tomato or a can of tomatoes for the Rotel tomatoes?

Yep, we’ve made this recipe before using a fresh diced tomato but found the ease and flavor of Rotel tomatoes worked best for busy weeknights.

Prep ahead

So you can toss your stew together quickly, consider chopping your garlic, ginger, onions, and peppers on your meal prep day or the day before.

Pre-chopping, cutting, or cooking ingredients really helps to reduce stress and simplify dinner on busy weeknights. We know, we know, we’re always talking about meal prep, but it truly is the holy grail to healthy eating!
