I didn’t really know what’s a Goulash prior to this, but I happen to see someone posting it and I thought it looks real delish !! So I did a google, and although it is generally defined as a stew, but it actually isn’t. Or should I say I devise it in such a way that it became a fusion instead of a stew. And commonly paired with beef, I adopted a different approach and used fresh seafood instead. Also, I cooked a seafood broth that’s similar to our Prawn noodles and topped it with lotsa cheese as well. And to further make it more fusion, instead of pasta, I incorporated it with our Chinese macaroni !!
Now I really really love this dish to bits !! It was so appetising that I actually managed to finish up the entire recipe serving all to myself. It’s pretty simple to whip up as well and because fresh seafood are used in replacement of poultry, you can actually skip the step of marination too. The only regret is, I should have just included more cheese for that matter of fact. As what my colleague always say, you can never resist anything with cheese !! Well, I have to admit, this is a very true indeed especially for this particular dish now !!
This dish is just too addictive that I am actually thinking about the taste of it all over again. A delightful home-cooked seafood broth infused with fresh prawns, squids and scallops blended in a good mix of tomato paste, mixed herbs, seasoning, with extra macaroni, cheddar and mozzarella cheese and finished it off in the oven. A piping hot and awesomely delightful Seafood Goulash is out to serve !!
