Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside with the beef.
2
Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the Caribbean spice blend and thyme, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3
Add the coconut milk, fish stock, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine, then add the browned beef and chicken back to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
4
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook until they are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh cilantro and scallions, and cook for 1 minute. Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional cilantro and scallions, and accompanied by a side of fluffy white rice or crusty bread.
