Shrimp Stew
Happy Friday, Soupers! Since it’s Good Friday and we’re enjoying the Easter Holiday break, we wanted to try making Cioppino, but there was one big problem: we were missing a lot of fish and other types of seafoods (mussels, clams, crab legs, etc.). So we settled on a modified version that’s basically a few stew, and you know what? It was still delicious. The addition of white wine never hurts either. And finally, the best part of this recipe is: you throw in everything together and just cook on low. It’s a perfect lunch ideas, and it’s light. Pair is with sandwiches and everyone will be full. You can even serve this cold if you refrigerate for roughly two hours.
