Conch Stew is a flavorful Caribbean seafood dish enjoyed throughout Curaçao and the Dutch Caribbean. Fresh conch is cleaned with lime, tenderized, and cut into bite-sized pieces before being quickly cooked with onion, green bell pepper, butter, and seafood bouillon. The result is a simple but delicious dish that allows the distinctive flavor of the conch to stand out.

Conch can become tough and chewy when overcooked, so the key to this recipe is properly tenderizing the meat and cooking it only briefly. Serve this traditional island dish immediately while hot, accompanied by rice or Tutu for a delicious taste of Curaçao.
