About the seafood casserole
The seafood casserole is a typical recipe from Latin America , and like all the typical recipes of such a wide and cultural place, its preparation and its ingredients usually vary depending on who makes it.
They can add the fruits of the sea that they like the most. I recommend you go to the fishmonger or the place where you always buy seafood, and see what is very fresh. If you only get frozen, nothing happens! It will be delicious the same.
The casserole should include any sea fruit in the proportions you want: lobster, prawns, shrimp, clams, mussels, squid, fish … Ugh, I got tired. They have everything to choose from!
Added to this are the vegetables. The same, friends, in the recipe that I bring you we put onion, tomato, garlic and bell pepper, but if you want you can do it only with onion, or only with tomato … Or add carrot. Feel free to modify the recipe at will!
In this seafood casserole recipe we use broth, but you can also just use water, or add a splash of heavy cream, or cook everything with coconut milk. Sooooo recommended to make it with coconut milk! Really! Before, however, I recommend trying coconut milk in other preparations.
It has a particular flavor that I love, but if you don’t like it and you added it to all your seafood casserole, you will want to hang me in the town square and if possible I would love to stay alive for much longer!
This seafood casserole can be accompanied with rice , whichever you like the most. It is usually accompanied with white rice, but you can put the one you prefer. It can also be rice with peas, or with saffron.
The seafood casserole is a dish with a strong personality, with intense flavors and aromas that takes all the attention of the taste buds … So your accompaniment has to be calm. If you do not want to accompany it with rice, you can also use some glazed onions, potatoes in all their forms and cooking (always yes to potatoes), sautéed carrots or some rich breaded asparagus. Let your imagination run wild!
Ready, I have nothing else to clarify. Let’s get to work that this seafood casserole is not going to be made alone!
