How to cook Seafood Kare Kare
Seafood Kare-Kare Recipe is similar to the traditional Beef Kare Kare, but instead of beef, pork or chicken, we will use seafood to have a healthy twist. It is made from peanut gravy and vegetables such as string beans and eggplant perfect for vegetarians.
Cooking the usual Kare Kare is very time-consuming because you have to simmer it for hours to make the meat tender. The excellent thing about Seafood Kare-Kare the seafood is much less time to prepare compared to meat.
In this recipe, all you need is to steam the shells and any other seafood that you like to add in this dish such as shrimps, squid rings and mussels.
Seafood Kare-Kare is best served with steamed rice along with bagoong or fermented shrimp paste.
