Yesterday being a public holiday. I was at home. I was surfing the internet and came across "Nigerian seafood pepper soup". I planned to give it a try someday.
Today the rain was heavy in the morning. It is cold and wet over here in Port Harcourt. The seafood market isn't that far from my house so I went to get some fish🦈,shrimps 🦐 and snails🐌 . At the market i was amazed that these things are not that expensive so i bought the what i needed. Everything not even up to €20
Fish
Snails
When i got home. I got my ingredients ready.
- Onion bulb
- Salt
- Tablespoon of grounded pepper
- Cameroon 🇨🇲 pepper
- Seasoning
- Dry Grounded crayfish
- Tablespoons of basil leave
- Medium size Salmon🦈. You can use catfish or tilapia
- Fresh washed shrimps
- Ripe plantain
Preparation
I cleaned the fresh shrimps, remove the shell and veins-the black line on the backbone. Then set aside.
Precooked the snails in salted water for 10 minutes and set aside.
Washed the fish thoroughly and cut into
smaller sizes.I pealed the ripe plantain and cut into smaller sizes to.
Now to prepare the seafood pepper soup
Place the fish pieces into a pot, add enough water to slightly cover the fish, add onions, pepper, seasoning and salt to taste. Parboil for 20minutes.
Then I added a little water, added the boiled snails/periwinkles, cleaned shrimps ground or whole crayfish and the ground pepper soup spices, mix gently and cook until all the seafood are done cooking +takes about 25mins more or less+
When it was 10mins, i added the ripe plantain,
added little water and stirred.
