My recent culinary trip to Belize provided some valuable recipe inspiration. Most of the ingredients such as meats, seafood, vegetables, and spices are similar to what you’d find here in the States, but the focus is on simplicity, freshness, and quality. Most dishes used minimal ingredients, with each element adding distinct flavors.

While not a Central American dish, this One Pot Tropical Shrimp Stir Fry with Coconut Rice is definitely inspired by this concept. A common theme there was seafood and lots of it. We just missed the lobster season, but there were plenty of whole grilled and steamed fish as well as shrimp options available. Also want to try steamed fish at home?

Many of the menu items featured seafood paired with fresh tropical fruits. One of my favorite meals there was fish tacos with a tangy sauce and chopped mango salsa. Want to try a homemade fish taco recipe with a fruit-based salsa? Check out my cobia fish tacos recipe!
