Irish Seafood Stew

This is an amazing stew, loaded with fresh seafood, herbs, wine and shrimp stock. You'll be surprised to see how quickly it all comes together. Basically when the shellfish all pop open, you're done. The simple method of steaming keeps everything fragrant and moist. Red potatoes and green beans add a perfect texture contrast to the tender fish and mollusks. Simple, quick, but oh, so delicious.

About Mauro Djalma

Mauro Djalma left Brazil in 1996.  He can be found far from his roots in the Inman Square neighborhood of  Cambridge, MA, cooking at an Irish pub, The Druid.  He states his favorite job is to cook and that's being modest.  He creates the most incredible meals, from a standout shepherd's pie to an aromatic and delicious Irish seafood stew. Everything he cooks is done from scratch, working with only the freshest ingredients, and aboslutely no frozen food. So how do Mauro's Brazilian roots fit with an Irish pub? Perfectly!

    ohmygosh this guy can cook! YUM!! if i ever needed surgery I would want him to be my doctor! fabulous! don't think I could ever do this recipe myself, as he did with the masterful precision, but then I don't drill on my own teeth, fix my own car, or do my own surgery! Kudos to this extraordinary chef! this is why good cooks like myself still go out to eat--ok request, seafood caldo and cerviche recipes--thx (Mar 18, 2010 2:17:19 AM)
