🦐 Portuguese Seafood Stew – Ingredient List (Serves 4–6)

Fresh Finish

  • Small bunch fresh cilantro (coriander), roughly chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

πŸ’‘ Chef’s Notes for Professional Touch

  • Layering flavor: Sweat onions, garlic, and peppers slowly in olive oil before adding tomatoes β€” this builds sweetness and depth.
  • Seafood timing: Add clams first, then shrimp, then fish β€” each cooks quickly and should be just done when served.
  • Presentation: Serve in a wide, shallow dish so the seafood is visible, and finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro for color contrast.
