Growing up in Brasil, there was a dish called Camarao na Moranga, which my Mom always made and it was very common mostly in the northeast of Brasil. vegetable decoration This shrimp stew was thickened with a local cheese and served inside a huge pumpkin from where everyone would serve themselves from, the whole thick cheese, shrimp and pumpkin mix never really appealed to me.
So i decided on changing the dish a bit, i used thai flavors and white fish to thicken instead of cheese, and served in personal pie pumpkins, vegetable decoration so each person had their own little piece of heaven. As you scoop out the stew from the roasted pumpkin, it thickens even more with the added softened pumpkin. So good!!! I did serve it with a small side of jasmine rice, but it wasn't necessary!
1 quart whole peeled tomatoes, slightly vegetable decoration crushed
Cut a slice of the top of each pumpkin and clean off all the seeds. Rub olive oil, salt and pepper inside each pumpkin. Place them in large roasting vegetable decoration pan. Roast in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the inside of the pumpkins are soft.
I prefer my peppers without the skin, but if you don't, skip this step. Place peppers on top of your stove burner vegetable decoration or on a grill, or under the boiler. let the skin burn on all sides. Place inside a paper bag immediately and close bag tight so the steam can work its magic. Remove from bag after 5 minutes and the skin should peel right off, it's ok if there are a few pieces left. Remove seeds and slice into thin slices.
In a large pan, heat olive oil. Add onions and cook for about 5 minutes under medium heat, add garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add peppers and cook stirring frequently for another 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, stock, lemongrass and clam juice. Stir well. Add fish, and both shrimp. Cook for 5 minutes. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and tabasco if desired. Add cilantro and serve inside cooked pumpkins. Garnish with chives and more cilantro.
