green chile seafood cocktail

2020-05-25

This is the New Mexico interpretation of the Mexican shrimp / seafood cocktail. The green chile adds its typical flavor to an already delicious dish.

Instead of serving the vegetables as side dishes for personal serving as with the latter, here they were added to the stew after the tomatoes and green chile were done, and then warmed through without boiling.

I didn't have frozen seafood mix at hand. I used canned clams and seafood instead. The 3 cans provided sufficient clam juice for this recipe.
