The main course was a moqueca. This time we had it with shrimp and calamari. It was fantastic and as delicious as the version our friends helped us make at home. It was served with seasoned rice, farofa (toasted mandioca flour) and a pudding made out of mandioca flour that was almost like a polenta.
All of the food was fantastic! They do seafood so well in Floripa.
wow what a place and lovely food
Now I must find some good seafood for dinner! What a great trip you had. I think Floripa sounds so funny, I keep giggling at it 🙂
What a breathtakingly beautiful place! The eats look wonderful!
Ohh it all looks so yummy, love seafood. And the scenery breathtaking.
OH MY GOODNESS! You are making me soooo hungry…and I just ate dinner! This looks absolutely fabulous!
I am now seriously craving some of that siri and the moqueca looks awesome. I’d be doing the same thing if I were in a coastal area – completely stuffing myself with fresh seafood so that I’m sated for the rest of the year while in the Midwest! Looking forward to a taste of Germany in Brazil . . .!
I love shrimp so much. Def my favorite seafood- its delicious and doesn’t require a lot of fuss. Love the shrimp on the salad! Fantastic
Beautiful pictures and the food looks fantastic. The shrimp sound so delicious in different preparations! Excellent!
I love living vicariously through your pictures, what a beautiful place.
I must admit that I don’t care for seafood, but I love reading about your adventures!
Looks like you got your fair share of fun,sun,sand and sea-food.
I love seafood(my family is originally from a coastal town),and can never get tired of eating it.BTW,we call it prawns(shrimps are the tiny ones back in India)!
Chow and Chatter – Thanks for stopping by with your comment. It is a great place.
Michelle – Even funnier is that they pronounce “i” like a long “e” in Portuguese so it is Flor-ee-pa. 🙂
Reeni and Angie – The island definitely offers some amazing views.
Pink Heels – Thanks for your comment. Darn food blogs. Always making me hungry too. Ha, ha! 🙂
Tangled Noodle – We just can’t bring ourself to eat anything but seafood when on the coast. 🙂
Erica – I love shrimp too. It is an easy go to meal and I do miss cooking with it since it is so much less available here. More reason to fill up during our travel!
5 Star Foodie – It is really nice to have it prepared so many differnt ways.
Caitlin – Thanks! I love sharing about my travels. 🙂
cathy – No seafood, huh? Hopefully the beach pictures were enjoyable. Ha! I have a good friend who really doesn’t care for it either.
Sweta – Interesting about the difference in names. They have both prawns and shrimp in Brazil. These are large shrimp for sure. I really don’t care for prawns. I find them a bit too tough and don’t enjoy the flavor.
All this food looks so interesting! I’d love to be able to try the real deal some day. 🙂
It all look so yummy! I love moqueca! Every time I come back to the States I bring abottle of “dende” oil to cook at home. I’m glad you’re enjoying these deliciousness food. 🙂 Vanessa
Some fantastic looking food!
It all looks so good!
