    Hi Jack, I am from Salvador of Bahia, where we make the best moqueca (silent u) in Brazil (I think). I don’t practice cooking, but I know that in Bahia many dishes are called “moqueca” when come with “azeite de dendê”, an oil extracted from the nuts of a kind of palm that came from Africa. The oil gives color and tipical tast of the moqueca. You can make moqueca until with eggs and green papaya cubes. Always accompanied with shrimps. Thank you.

    This looks very good! I have cooked a brazilian shrimp stew and I have noticed between this recipe and the brazilian shrimp stew is the amount of flavor in these recipes. Lots of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, bell pepper, coconut milk, and also the chili spice. I am gonna have to make this soon!

    @moltomayer Nice. I love to hear this. I loved the broth. I only used the rice for presentation. My wife loved how the rice soaked up the juice. LOL

    Hi Jack, thank you for the video about this dish! It’s great. Preparing is quickly done, the dish is healthy and full of flavour! Instead of rice, I enjoyed a Baguette to this. Dipping the sauce is so delicious :)

    Greetings from germany!!
