| Recipes : Spicy Seafood (Fisherman) Stew |
This is a simple recipe with huge flavors. I love that it’s not only visually appealing but it’s fresh and healthy. If you have access to fresh seafood, this is a soup recipe to try. Use a combination of whatever you have access to, from crab to lobsters to large prawns, the options are endless. Make it your own; the only rule is that you make it fresh.
