Brazilian Fish Stew (THM E)

This Brazilian classic has been eaten for ever.  Now I’m not Brazilian, nor do I have any Brazilian heritage but I do know good food when I taste it. And this is GOOD!!  I had this years ago and set out to duplicate the flavors to form the perfect E meal in my Trim Healthy Mama way of eating (Learn more about THM here).

  1. Oh man, I love finding E dinners that aren’t some variation on chicken+salsa+rice/beans (I mean, I like those, but I think two thirds of the E entrees on Pinterest are Mexican-esque). And an excuse to use shrimp, too. Thank you!

  2. This sounds delicious! I will definitely be using this recipe soon. Does it freeze well do you know? I like to make my THM recipes to freeze so I can stock up and only have to cook a few days a week?

    1. It doesn’t last long enough in our house to freeze, I can’t see why it wouldn’t though.

  3. Chrissy I made this for supper last night. It was delicious! We are looking forward to eating leftovers tonight! It’s also a beautiful dish. Thanks!
