I also found this recently on the label of a can of Goya coconut milk and tried it. I halved grape tomatoes and didn't have Sazon seasoning, so I just added some of my own. I used flounder and I think any white fish would work nicely with this. The result was beyond delicious! The flavors worked beautifully together. I served it over jasmine rice. This has become one of my favorites. I will definitely be making this again. I might use Lite Coconut Milk next time to lower the fat.

I found this recipe on the side of a can of Goya coconut milk. It was delicious, very creamy and flavorful. I halved the recipe, but kept all of the onion and celery because I like extra vegetables. I also left out the bay leaves and lime, because I didn't have any and use jarred minced garlic and half a can of diced tomatoes. I recommend trying this--you won't be disappointed!

I currently live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, although that will be changing shortly. I was living in Guatemala for the past few months, and plan on returning for a 2 year teaching assignment this coming January.
I have always loved to cook, and the more complicated recipe, the better. I also love any type of ethnic food, so most of the recipes you see in my cookbook are of that variety.
