Today I made Shrimp Stew. I love cuisines from all over the world and am very experimental in nature. When I travel I always have local food and if I’m hosted I prefer home cooked food unless my host or hostess decides otherwise. In São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro I had Fish Stew and loved it so much that I replicated it today successfully. Feel very proud of myself. Easy and has the delicious taste of coconut milk and vegetables alongwith shrimps
