A Healthy & Hearty Seafood Stew
It’s about time The Soupstache featured a seafood recipe! This stew is based on the Quick Seafood Stew recipe found on Whisk & Cleaver. Once I saw it, I just knew I had to try it! My version has a few variations.
As a former Marylander, I had to add Old Bay. Also, there were no Red Pepper Flakes to be found in my pantry, so I substituted Cayenne Pepper. The bag of Frozen Mixed Seafood I found at my local grocery store included shrimp, mussels, octopus, calamari and scallops. In the future, I’ll try this recipe over rice…or maybe add some sausage and call it gumbo! Either way, it was simply scrumptious!
