SEAFOOD CREOLE



Seafood Creole image

This is a spicy sauce similar to etouffee. By adding seafood, it becomes Seafood Creole. Due to the seasoning mix, it is quite spicy. This can be controlled by adjusting the amount of the peppers. I like mine full strength, but for the wife I have to cut the peppers down to 1/8 teaspoon each. This recipe can easily be doubled or quadrupled for large affairs. It goes great with rice, garlic bread, a green salad and a good white wine, such as white Merlot, white Cabernet, Johannisburg Riesling, or Gewurztraminer. Use your favorite firm, white fish fillets in this recipe. Canned diced tomatoes can be used in place of chopping fresh tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish. The fresher the fish, the better the curry will taste. If you can, try to buy fish that was caught within the last 24 hours.
  • Choose a firm-fleshed fish. Firm-fleshed fish will hold up better in the curry and won't fall apart. Some good choices include salmon, tilapia, cod, and halibut.
  • Marinate the fish. Marinating the fish in a mixture of spices and yogurt will help to flavor it and make it more tender. You can marinate the fish for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Use a variety of spices. Creole fish curry is all about the spices. Be sure to use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fish will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the curry with rice or roti. Creole fish curry is traditionally served with rice or roti. You can also serve it with naan bread or other flatbread.

Conclusion:

Creole fish curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its bold flavors and variety of spices, it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give Creole fish curry a try. You won't be disappointed.
