Still trying to master this art. i'm usually very mincy when I use garlic. I can't shout. But always ready to learn, wouldn't mind your trick

BlaqCoffee109:
Thing is,people don't know how to cook with garlic to not get that garlic smell...If you know how to get garlic in the mix,you could put a bowlful of garlic in your dish all you get is a rich aroma one wouldn't know its garlic!

CrustandSea:
Wow! This is assorted.. But i'm not so much a fan of bitterleaf, I would easily replace it with another vegetable. Banga soup is just heavenly, sadly I haven't had it in a while

you know mixing okra with seafood is ultra sweetness...using other vegetables will not cut it...hence the need to blend the sweetness with bitterleaf...just wash the bitterleaf till the foam is reduced and near white then its fit to add in the soup

DO WE REALLY KNOW OR EAT SEAFOOD IN NIGERIA? I COULD REMEMBER CHATTING WITH A NIGERIAN LADY (A GRADUATE) SOMETIME AGO AND SHE ASKED ME WHAT I ATE FOR LUNCH. I TOLD HER SEAFOOD, SHE ASKED ME WHAT IS SEAFOOD AND AND AT THE SAME TIME SHOUTED OK CATFISH.

Very true! But that is why this platform was started to educate people and share recipes then go further to making available.. Seafood is a very healthy and enjoyable delicacy.

More Nigerian recipes coming! please show support by liking or commenting.. thank you

You haven't replied my question regarding the cocoyam used in one of the recipes you dropped either on the first page or page 1

The two common types of cocoyam in Nigeria are "Colocasia esculenta" and Xanthosoma sagittifolium root". Although these two varieties are edible, Xanthosoma sagittifolium roots are always boiled, roasted, steamed and sometimes pounded to make fufu meals while Colocasia esculenta (Ede ofe) is commonly used in Nigeria to thicken soup and some are know to itch the skin. So I'm referring to the second

Quinoa Shrimp Stir-Fry

The very beautiful Atim of Afrolems.com inspired lunch for today. This dish was inspired by her Suya chicken Quinoa Stir fry, you should check it out. For my variation, I decided to make use of Shrimp and coconut oil to bring it all together. I have always been a fan of quinoa; I have tried several recipes.

The most important thing to remember is that quinoa should extremely fluffy, water logged soggy quinoa will definitely not work.

COCONUT CURRY QUINOA

Some Quinoa basics:

1 cup raw quinoa = 3 cups cooked quinoa
Quinoa cooks in approximately 20 minutes
Rinse your quinoa before and allow enough time for it to drain completely
Medium-low heat produces better result
1 part fresh quinoa require 1.5 equal parts liquid
For best result, use some type of broth as your base – NEVER USE WATER
Allow time for quinoa to cool after cooking and always fluff with a fork


What you will need:

2.5 cups raw quinoa
2 cups chopped carrot and peas mix (frozen or canned works just fine)
1 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
3.75 Cups Chicken or Beef Broth
2 tablespoon butter – Divided
2 cups raw shrimp ( Cleaned and deveined)
3 tablespoons Coconut oil (substitute olive, peanut or vegetable oil)
2 cloves of Garlic – Finely Minced
1 teaspoon dried pepper ( ata gigun)
2-3 cubes Maggi*
Salt to taste
**Note: If you do not have broth, boil 3.75 cups of water with 1 cube maggi, salt and your favorite spices.

Direction:

Cooking the quinoa

Start by generously washing the quinoa under running water, you want to get rid of as much “top foam” as possible. Pour the washed quinoa into a colander (sieve) and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes (this is to get rid of excess water)
Quinoa1



Place a pot with a tight fitting lead on high heat, add in the broth. Cover and bring to a rolling boil. Add in one part butter and quinoa. Stir. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15-20minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool (uncovered)


Season the shrimp with some salt and pepper. Set aside
Heat up the coconut oil in a large pot or wok. Add in the minced garlic and stir fry until fragrant. Add in the shrimp and cook for about 1 minute.
Stir in pepper. Add maggi and salt.
Stir in the peas and carrots
Fluff the cooked quinoa with fork, add quinoa into the pot. Add in the left over butter . Stir fry for 1-2 minutes
