Ingredients for Pescado a lo Macho

Method

Directions for Pescado a lo Macho

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice and a pinch of salt. Cover and reduce the heat to low, cooking for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Fish

    Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Seafood Sauce

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add shrimp, squid, and mussels. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are cooked through. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Cream

    Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place a portion of rice on each plate. Top with a fried fish fillet and generously spoon the seafood cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
