Prepare the Rice

Rinse the Brazilian rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water, a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Cooking the Stew

Combine Ingredients

Add diced tomatoes, coconut milk, fish stock, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Add Seafood

Once the stew is simmering, add the shrimp and mussels. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and the mussels have opened.

Finish with Lime and Cilantro

Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
