Recipe: Sea Food Okoro Pepper Soup (Igbagbs Ofofo)

This is an Urhobo and itsekiri dish, very healthy , flavourful and delicious! I made this soup last night which I adapted from Dooney's Kitchen and my family really enjoyed it. This dish is very low-fat and low-calorie making it a great for weight loss/maintenance and for ppeople with certain health conditions.


I made this with baby shrimps , smoked dried cat fish and mackerel fish. It's very spicy with high note of pepper soup spice mix garnished with spinach (not the Nigerian green aka iro).

So here's how to make it;
