Moqueca de Camarão

Rumours are that while Brazil were being beaten 7-1 by Germany at the last World Cup, they were dreaming of this dish. After winning gold at the Olympics in 2016, it looks like the Seleção have learned to leave their hunger pains in the locker room.

Moqueca from the BBC, is a creamy fish stew that is traditionally cooked in a hand made pot, which Brazilans have been doing for over 300 years. This version is a little easier, just grab a dutch oven and come with some fresh shrimp.
