    Recipe Introduction


    You can add other seafood if you wish. We added clams and enjoyed this immensely. The palm oil adds color and a bit of flavor.

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 clove garlic, minced

    1/2 Spanish onion, sliced

    1 tomato, diced

    1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and julienned

    1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and julienned

    1 pound dolphin fillet cut into chunks (mahi mahi)

    1 teaspoon palm oil

    3/4 cup coconut milk

    20 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

    Salt, to taste

    1 hot pepper (dedo de moca)

    2 cups cooked rice

    Recipe



    In a nonreactive large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, tomatoes and red and green bell peppers. Saute 5 minutes until soft. Add the dolphin chunks and cook 6 minutes. Add palm oil, coconut milk, shrimp, salt and hot pepper; cook 6 minutes. If the fish is not quite cooked you can cover the pan during the last few minutes of cooking. Serve over rice. Makes 4 servings.
