” Moqueca de Frutos do Mar “

Another 10 minute meal that looks and tastes like a thousand bucks  🙂
When I worked at the Intercontinental in Rio de Janeiro,
I had this for lunch at least twice a week at the pool restaurant.
Last night when I made this, I felt transported back in time to Rio
and it’s many beautiful treasures, the food,  the caipirinhas,
the vistas, the beaches and,most of all, the beautiful people who live life to it’s fullest.
