Mariscada En Recado (Shellfish Stew) image

This poor recipe started in Portugal, then traveled to Brazil during colonization, and now, somehow, ended up in my kitchen. My husband requested this, but I could not find a definitive recipe since there seem to be two distinct versions, one with fresh cilantro and one without. Also coconut milk is not always used. Some used squid and cod as well as the shellfish. This is a shortcut version. If you cannot get the Goya Recaito you can substitute by adding a minced garlic clove and a bunch of chopped, fresh cilantro with the onions. You'll probably want to blend this for a smoother consistency. Serve with crusty bread.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mariscada en recado turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some shrimp, scallops, and mussels, and they all worked well in the mariscada en recado.

The mariscada en recado was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The mariscada en recado was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that it was very good. I would make it again with less chili peppers.
